The tropical cyclone formerly known as Caloy has officially weakened into a Low Pressure Area (LPA) as of 8:00 PM on May 11, 2026. According to the final bulletin issued by DOST-PAGASA, the weather disturbance is moving away from the Philippine landmass and is unlikely to bring heavy rainfall to any part of the country.
As of 10:00 PM, the center of the LPA was estimated at 600 km East of Guiuan, Eastern Samar or 630 km East of Borongan City. It is currently moving east-northeastward at 10 km/h with a central pressure of 1004 hPa. No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals are currently in effect.
Travel advisory for coastal waters
While land areas are expected to remain clear of heavy rain, travelers and maritime stakeholders should remain cautious. Moderate seas with wave heights reaching up to 2.0 meters are expected over the following coastal areas within the next 24 hours:
- Northern Luzon: Seaboards of Batanes, Cagayan, and Isabela.
- Central and Southern Luzon: Aurora, northern and eastern seaboards of Quezon (including Polillo Islands), and the northern seaboards of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.
- Bicol Region: Catanduanes and the eastern seaboards of Albay and Sorsogon.
- Visayas: Northern Samar and the eastern seaboard of Eastern Samar.
- Mindanao: Dinagat Islands, Siargao-Bucas Grande Islands, and the seaboard of Surigao del Sur.
Mariners operating motorbancas and similarly sized vessels are strongly advised to take precautionary measures or avoid navigation entirely under these conditions to ensure safety at sea.
Forecast and satellite data
Satellite imagery from the Himawari-8 sensor at 10:40 PM confirms a swirling cloud system indicative of the remnant low located over the Philippine Sea. The track forecast suggests the system will move generally northward or northeastward over the next few days. Due to increasingly less favorable environmental conditions, the LPA is expected to dissipate within the next five days.
Unless re-development occurs, DOST-PAGASA has declared this as the final bulletin for this weather disturbance. However, travelers are still encouraged to monitor local PAGASA Regional Services Division products for specific thunderstorm or rainfall advisories that may affect local itineraries.
