Draft:Tropical Depression Romina (2024)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The origins of Tropical Depression Romina can be traced back to December 20, when the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported a low-pressure area located 460 km (290 mi) west-southwest of Brunei,[1] which was later upgraded to a tropical depression.[2][3] At 06:00 UTC the following day, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a tropical cyclone formation alert, noting that formative banding was organizing around the circulation and deep convection was building over the center.[4] However, due to its imminent threat to the Kalayaan Islands, PAGASA named the depression Romina, even though it was still outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), at 11:00 PHT (03:00 UTC) on December 22, and began issuing advisories on it.[5] This marked the first time since 1963 that PAGASA named a tropical cyclone outside the PAR.[6]
