LPA unlikely to develop into cyclone


Manila: The weather bureau on Friday said the cloud cluster outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has developed into a low pressure area (LPA).

However, it has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its advisory.

The ITCZ will cause scattered rains and thunderstorms over Zamboanga Peninsula, Soccsksargen, BARMM, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental, and Davao del Sur.

It will also cause isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over the Visayas, Palawan, and the rest of Mindanao.

Flash floods or landslides are possible in those areas during moderate to heavy rains and severe thunderstorms, according to PAGASA.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is forecast to have isolated rain showers due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

The whole country will continue to experien
ce light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said.
