Tropical storm “Ineng” remained almost stationary in northern Luzon for the last six hours, the weather bureau said in its 5 a.m. bulletin Tuesday.
Ineng was plotted at 810 kilometers east of northern Luzon with maximum winds of 65 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its website.
It was spotted earlier hovering over the Philippine Sea 730 km east of northern Luzon at 10 a.m. Monday.
Though it was not forecast to hit land, it was still expected to continue to enhance the southwest monsoon and bring rain over the western section of Luzon and the Visayas, weather specialist Joel Jesusa said Monday.

Tropical storm Lekima leaves 10 dead or missing in Philippines
Tropical storm Lekima killed nine people and left another missing in the Philippines after unleashing landslides, floods and big waves, rescuers said Sunday.
The weather bureau here lowered all cyclone alerts on the main island of Luzon as the storm dissipated into a weaker tropical depression in the South China Sea.
A landslide buried two houses in a mountain village near the town of Hingyon late Saturday, killing eight people, the civil defence office here said.
One other family member was missing while a nine year-old boy was injured, it said in an updated report.
Meanwhile, a military rescue unit recovered the body of a drowning victim in northern Manila, it said.
The storm swept across Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometres (40 miles) an hour on Saturday, shutting down ferry services, swelling dams and rivers, and unleashing floods that displaced some 3,400 people, the government agency said.
Huge waves also smashed onto the Sarangani coast of the main southern island of Mindanao, damaging 29 houses in the village of San Nicolas.
Ferry services between Luzon and the central islands resumed Sunday, but small fishing boats and other craft were warned to stay in port due to big waves.
