on july 28, an area of low pressure formed about to the west of guam. over the next few days, the system gradually drifted to the northwest and on july 31, the japan meteorological agency (jma) upgraded the low into a tropical depression to the west of philippines. later that day, the philippine atmospheric, geophysical and astronomical services administration (pagasa) started monitoring the system as a tropical depression and named it "lando". the system slowly tracked northward. however, on the next day, due to fujiwhara effect, typhoon muifa the much more powerful system, just to the northeast of lando, weakened lando. as a result, the pagasa issued their final warning on the system, downgrading it to a tropical low. but despite this, tropical depression lando regenerated soon afterwards, and the jma reissued their advisories on lando. tropical depression lando continued to persist for another day, as it slowly tracked eastward, just off the western coast of luzon. then, during the late afternoon of august 2, the jma stopped tracking lando, as it had dissipated. early on august 3, the remmants of tropical depression lando dissipated completely, without ever reaching luzon.
