LPA in PH unlikely to become a storm; ‘habagat’ brings rains over Southern Luzon, Visayas—Pagasa
THE low pressure area (LPA), which entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), is unlikely to develop into a storm while the southwest monsoon or “habagat” will continue to bring rains over Southern Luzon and Visayas, the state-run weather bureau said on Sunday.
The LPA was 1,335 kilometers (km) east of Aparri, Cagayan and will not affect any portion of the country, weather specialist Meno Mendoza of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
The southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Mimaropa and Western Visayas.
It will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Bicol region and the rest of Visayas.
Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan make up Mimaropa while Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon make up Calabarzon.
Meanwhile, Mindoro, Northern and Central Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms, Pagasa added. GLEE JALEA
