MANILA – The low-pressure area (LPA) currently within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) is not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Tuesday (11 June 2024).
The LPA was last located 145 kilometers west-northwest of Butuan City in Agusan del Norte.
“The probability of this LPA developing into a tropical cyclone is low, and it is likely to dissipate within the day,” said Rhea Torres, a PAGASA forecaster.
Despite this, the LPA is expected to bring cloud cover and rain to parts of the Visayas and Mindanao.
PAGASA predicts scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, and Agusan del Norte due to the LPA’s influence.
Moderate to heavy rainfall in these regions may lead to flash floods and landslides.
Elsewhere in the country, isolated rain showers and thunderstorms due to localized weather conditions will persist.
