MANILA, Philippines — A new low pressure area (LPA) spotted east of the country and the southwest monsoon would bring rains over large parts of the country Friday, the state weather bureau
Weather updates as of 4:00 p.m. from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration showed that the cloud clusters around the shallow LPA, last spotted 530 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes, will cause rains in Luzon and Visayas especially its eastern portion.
Pagasa says that the chance of the shallow LPA turning into a tropical depression remains slim, while the other LPA being monitored west of the country has moved out of the Philippine area of responsibility. “Bukod dito sa [LPA], isa pang weather system natin sa ngayon ay ang southwest monsoon na siyang nagbabalik sa ating bansa. Nakaka-apekto ito ngayon sa western sections of Southern Luzon and Visayas, and nakikita natin hanggang sa early next week ay posible pa rin tayong magkaroon ng Habagat,” he added.
Residents of Mimaropa especially Palawan should also expect light to moderate and at times heavy rains due to the southwest monsoon, while the rest of Luzon may feel isolated rain showers brought by localized thunderstorms.
