(File photo) MANILA - The low-pressure area (LPA) that the weather bureau has been monitoring will cause scattered rains over a huge part of the country on Wednesday. This LPA was last tracked at 15 km. northeast of Davao City or in the vicinity of Laak, Davao de Oro. "It has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours but we still consider the possibility that it may develop into one," Grace Castaneda of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). PAGASA forecast the LPA to cause scattered to widespread rain showers and thunderstorms over Palawan and Mindanao and scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Visayas. "The LPA will continue to bring rains over (these areas) and the public is advised to take precautions and be alert against possible flooding and landslides," Castaneda said. Meanwhile, the northeasterly surface wind flow will cause rains over Cagayan Valley, central Luzon,
MANILA - The low pressure area (LPA) and the intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Visayas and Mindanao on Tuesday, the weather bureau said. "This LPA is embedded along ITCZ affecting Mindanao. It has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, but it continues to move near Eastern Visayas so it will bring rains over the area," weather specialist Samuel Duran of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. The LPA was last tracked 320 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. For Tuesday's forecast, PAGASA said the northeasterly surface windflow will cause rains in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Bulacan, and Calabarzon. Bicol, on the other hand, will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line. Isolated light rains will prevail over the rest of Luzon due to the northeasterly surface windflow. Meanwhile, moderate
(File photo) MANILA - Most parts of the country will continue to experience rains due to the low pressure area (LPA) last tracked 100 kilometers east of Davao City, the weather bureau said Tuesday. "This LPA still has a slim chance of developing into a tropical depression, but it will bring rains to a huge part of the country," Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said. Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are forecast over the Visayas, Mindanao, Sorsogon, Albay, Masbate, Romblon and Palawan. "The rains may trigger floods or landslides over these areas," Aurelio said. Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon or amihan affecting Northern Luzon will bring light rains over Cagayan Valley, and isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of the island. Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail over northern and central Luzon. Strong to gale force winds
MANILA - Many areas in the country may experience rains due to two weather systems and a trough of a low pressure area (LPA), the weather bureau said on Tuesday. "The trough of LPA will not go near the Philippine Area of Responsibility, but will continue to bring rains over a huge part of Mindanao, Grace Castaneda of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. Castaneda added that there is no weather disturbance that may directly affect the country. The dominant weather systems are the shear line affecting the eastern section of the Visayas and the northeast monsoon affecting Luzon and the rest of the Visayas. These will cause scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Davao Region, Caraga, Samar, Eastern Samar, and Northern Samar. Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol Region will also experience rains due to the northeast monsoon. Residents of these areas are advised to take precautions against possible flash floods or
MANILA - Some areas in the country will experience rains caused by the shear line, easterlies, and the northeast monsoon or "amihan", the weather bureau said Wednesday. Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will prevail over Batanes and Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands, due to the shear line. The same weather condition will be experienced in the Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Davao regions, as well as Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Bohol, but this is caused by the easterlies, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 4 a.m. weather bulletin. Flash floods or landslides are likely during moderate to heavy rains. The northeast monsoon, on the other hand, will bring isolated light rains over the Ilocos provinces, Apayao, Abra, and Kalinga. The rest of the country will have isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms. Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail over Luzon, the Visayas
