Not really anything there that catches my eye to be honest, things are certainly on the slow side globally and in this basin right now.

"Domeng" has merged with the Low Pressure Area east of Batanes and intensified into a Tropical Storm.

Residents living in low lying and mountainous areas under signal # 1 & 2 are alerted against possible flashfloods and landslides.

Tropical Storm Domeng has enhanced the Southwest Monsoon that will generate moderate to rough seas as well as bring rains which may also trigger flashfloods and landslides in other areas of the country.

The public and the disaster coordinating councils concerned are advised to take appropriate actions and watch for the next bulletin alert to be issued at 11 PM today.

*****************************************
I was expecting that PAGASA will just let this system to be a tropical depression (since they are the ONLY agency classifying this as one). Now, this surprised me even more. They even upgraded it to a TS and stated the merging of a low pressure area (I assume they are talking about 97W) and this system.

On the other note, I observe thick cloud clusters in and out of the Philippine archipelago, associated with strong ITCZ activity (or the monsoon trough) and the strong surge of southwest monsoon. There are reports of strong rains in the metro and some areas in the country.

(I have also posted on this thread because I, too, have no idea of which Domeng really is...)

Something clearly in the water system that PAGASA drink from. This is obviously a ridiculous over-reaction to the the Conson screw up they made. What a joke...

Thats exactly what I think, I reckon the Govt pressure has occured and they are indeed just upgrading anything out there to make it look like they've become more 'alert'
