Two weather systems will usher in rain showers across various regions of the Philippines, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
These weather systems consist of the northeasterly surface wind flow affecting extreme Northern Luzon and the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA).
The LPA, which was last observed approximately 980 kilometers west of Central Luzon, is not anticipated to impact the country as it moves toward mainland Asia, as Obet Badrina of PAGASA explained.
Nevertheless, PAGASA has predicted that the LPA’s trough will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Palawan.
This could result in moderate to heavy rains that may lead to flash floods and landslides.
In other areas, isolated light rains are expected in Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Apayao due to the influence of the northeasterly surface wind flow. The rest of the country can anticipate isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected in Northern and Central Luzon, with no gale warning issued.
In other areas, winds will be light to moderate, and seas will range from slight to moderate, as per PAGASA’s report.
