A Facebook post falsely claimed on July 25 that a low-pressure area (LPA) would soon develop into a typhoon, named “Dindo,” and would make landfall on the Philippines this weekend.
The low-pressure area (LPA) spotted near Mindanao has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
A low pressure area located around Surigao del Sur may intensify into a tropical cyclone by Saturday, state weather agency PAGASA said.
