Taipei, June 6 (CNA) A tropical disturbance off the southeastern coast of the Philippines may become the first typhoon of the Western Pacific typhoon season of 2025, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said Friday.

The storm currently lacks a visible center, and how it will develop will only become clear on Sunday and Monday, the CWA said, noting that it was not yet possible to forecast the potential typhoon's effect on Taiwan.

A tropical disturbance is a tropical weather system made up of organized showers and thunderstorms that lasts for at least 24 hours and does not have closed wind circulation, according to the American Meteorological Society.
