MANILA — Pagasa is actively monitoring a Low-Pressure Area (LPA) situated outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
As of Sunday, Pagasa’s weather specialist, Obet Badrina, reported that the LPA positioned approximately 2,045 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao, has not yet directly impacted the country.
Badrina emphasized the uncertainty regarding the LPA’s potential development into a tropical depression and its entry into PAR. The prevailing atmospheric conditions, marked by the convergence of hot and cold air in the shear line, are currently influencing Central Luzon.
This atmospheric setup is causing overcast skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms in regions such as Aurora, Quezon, Rizal, Laguna, and Camarines Norte.
In Northern Luzon, the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” is affecting areas including the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley. These areas may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.
Conversely, Metro Manila and the rest of the country are expected to have cloudy conditions with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. The situation remains dynamic, and Pagasa continues to closely monitor developments to provide timely and accurate weather information.
