MANILA: The weather bureau said Wednesday the low pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and the tropical cyclone spotted outside PAR are not affecting the country.
The LPA, last tracked 575 km. northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, has a slim chance of developing into a cyclone and has no direct effect on the country, Obet Badrina of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
For now, it is the southwest monsoon (habagat) which will continue to bring rains in some areas.
He added that a tropical cyclone had developed outside PAR and was last located 2,005 km. east northeast of extreme Northern Luzon.
Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan will continue to experience scattered rains and thunderstorms.
Metro Manila, the Visayas, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, and the rest of Mimaropa will continue to experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, also due to “habagat”.
The rest of the country will have isolated rain s
howers caused by localized thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas still prevail across the archipelago, PAGASA said.
