THE trough or extension of the low pressure area (LPA) will continue to bring rain over many parts of the Visayas and Mindano regions, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Thursday .
“Yung trough o extension [ay] patuloy na nakakaapekto at nagdudulot ng mga pagbuhos ng ulan sa malaking bahagi ng Kabisayaan at maging dito sa Mindanao area (The trough or extension will continue to affect and bring rain in many parts of Visayas and Mindanao area),” Weather specialist Loriedin Dela Cruz said.
In its 4 a.m. bulletin, Pagasa last spotted the center of the LPA at 850 kilometers east of Davao City.
Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region will experience moderate to heavy scattered rains and thunderstorms, Pagasa said.
The state weather agency warned residents in these areas against possible flash floods and landslides.
Pagasa said that the LPA would unlikely develop into a storm.
The state weather bureau also said the northeast monsoon or “hanging amihan” was affecting Luzon.
According to Pagasa, the northeast monsoon will bring light rains in Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Bicol, Aurora, and Quezon Province.
The northeast monsoon or seasonal winds from the northeast is the cold air from China that starts blowing into the country every mid-October.
