A low-pressure area (LPA) currently under surveillance beyond the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) is anticipated to approach the country over the upcoming weekend, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
Weather specialist Aurelio Alczar has indicated that the LPA, situated approximately 1,310 kilometers to the east of eastern Visayas, carries a low likelihood of developing into a tropical depression.
While the former typhoon “Jenny” (international name Koinu) is gradually receding from landmasses and is not having a direct impact on the nation, it is still bolstering the southwest monsoon, which is affecting the western regions of North and Central Luzon.
Pagasa has forecasted generally fair weather for the country, with occasional isolated rain showers caused by thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
