MANILA – The majority of the Philippines is set to experience fair weather today Wednesday (21 Aug 2024), though isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are expected in certain areas, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA forecaster Obet Badrina reported that most parts of the country would enjoy generally clear skies, with warm temperatures peaking around noon. However, he cautioned that localized thunderstorms could bring rain, particularly in the afternoon and evening.
Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and the Davao Region may see isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the influence of easterly winds. PAGASA has warned that severe thunderstorms in these areas could potentially lead to flash floods or landslides.
Badrina also noted that the low-pressure area (LPA) previously tracked by PAGASA has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and is no longer expected to impact any part of the country.
Throughout the archipelago, light to moderate winds will prevail, with slight to moderate sea conditions anticipated.
PAGASA continues to monitor weather conditions and advises the public to stay updated on the latest forecasts.

MANILA – Most parts of the Philippines will experience fair weather with isolated rain showers, as a low-pressure area (LPA) in the region is unlikely to develop into a cyclone, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday (20 Aug 2024).
The LPA was last located approximately 1,030 kilometers east-northeast of northern Luzon. PAGASA forecaster Rhea Torres confirmed that it has little chance of intensifying into a tropical cyclone and is too distant to impact any part of the country directly.
However, the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” will bring isolated rain showers and thunderstorms to Batanes and the Babuyan Islands. Residents in these areas should be cautious of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country can expect generally warm conditions during the day, with isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are anticipated across the archipelago, PAGASA reported.

MANILA – Tropical Depression Dindo has strengthened into a tropical storm and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Monday (19 Aug 2024) morning, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Now named Tropical Storm Jongdari internationally, Dindo is located approximately 640 kilometers northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
The storm has maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts reaching up to 80 kph.
Its strong to gale-force winds extend up to 320 kilometers from the center as it moves northeastward at 10 kph.
PAGASA reports that no wind signals have been raised across the country, as Dindo is not expected to directly impact the Philippines.
The storm, the fourth to enter PAR this year, will likely continue moving northward and exit PAR within the next six hours.
Once outside PAR, Dindo is projected to head towards the East China Sea, with possible paths leading either to the Korean Peninsula or the eastern coast of China.
PAGASA also noted that while the storm is expected to maintain its current strength, a weakening trend is possible within the next 24 hours as it moves further away from the PAR region.
