On July 26, a low pressure area was observed 600 km (375 mi)* east of General Santos City and was embedded along the intertropical convergence zone that brought heavy rains to Mindanao.[4] During the next three days, the low pressure area crossed the Philippines and arrived on the West Philippine Sea on July 30, located west of Batangas.[5] After favorable conditions, both PAGASA and JMA upgraded the system into a tropical depression and was named Jolina. On July 31, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm and was given the international name Jebi.[6]
