The threat of heavy rains in Cebu from Tropical Depression (TD) Wilma has eased, with local authorities saying the likelihood of significant flooding is now low.

“Si Wilma wala lang gyud ta maapektuhan sa iyang cloud rain bands kay na-disorganized siya tungod sa Amihan,” Quibalt explained. “Ang iyang cloudiness […] pag-ulan, ni-shift didto sa Southern Luzon so nikalit usab ang behavior. Hinay man gyud siya nga bagyo, initially giexpect nato nga daghan pag-ulan diri sa ato pero mao to ni-shared man siya, wala na sa sentro ang pag-ulan.”

Every time a storm enters the Philipine Area of Responsibility (PAR), Filipinos brace for the impact of rain, floods, winds, and the long list of risks that come with any tropical cyclone.
Behind every weather bulletin lies a complicated atmospheric process that determines whether a disturbance like Tropical Depression “Wilma” will remain weak or intensify into something stronger.
As of 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 4, 2025, Tropical Depression Wilma has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported.
Intense to torrential rainfall is expected on Friday morning, December 5, as Wilma moves through the region.
Several local government units, including those in Cebu province, have suspended classes at all levels, as Pagasa has placed the province under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 and forecasts 50 to 100 millimeters (mm) of rain within 24 hours.
While Wilma is still in its weakest category, forecasters caution that its future strength depends entirely on the conditions surrounding it. Understanding how storms form, grow, and behave is key to comprehending the risks ahead.

Tropical Depression Wilma to bring rains in Cebu – Pagasa
The low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has developed into a tropical depression that will likely bring rains in Cebu over the weekend.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Thursday, December 4, announced that the LPA had turned into a tropical depression, assigning it the name Wilma.
Wilma was last spotted approaching Eastern Visayas on Thursday morning.
Due to the tropical depression’s presence, Central Visayas will experience moderate to occasional heavy rains that can last until Sunday, December 7.
Pagasa: LPA outside PAR may develop into tropical depression in 24 hours
A low-pressure area brewing over the Pacific is showing stronger signs of development, with state meteorologists warning that it may strengthen into a tropical depression as early as today.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Wednesday, December 3, that Low Pressure Area (LPA) 12a, currently located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), now has a “high” chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
As of 8 a.m., Pagasa continues to monitor LPA 12a alongside another system—LPA 11b (formerly “Verbena”)—also positioned outside PAR.
In a previous briefing, Pagasa weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said the LPA east of the country has the potential to escalate even further.
“There is a high chance that this will become a full-blown typhoon within the next 24 to 48 hours, and once it enters our PAR as a typhoon, we will name it Wilma,” Dominguez said.
Pagasa: LPA outside PAR has ‘high’ chance of becoming tropical depression
A low pressure area (LPA) has formed on Monday afternoon, December 1, and is being monitored outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by the state weather bureau.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the LPA has a high potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 to 48 hours.
“We can see in our forecast track that it may possibly make landfall in Eastern Visayas or Caraga. But for now, there is still high uncertainty on its possible track,” said weather specialist Chenel Dominguez.
