LPA enters PAR; southwest monsoon affects parts of Luzon, Visayas
A low-pressure area (LPA) east of the country has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and has been named Egay.
The LPA was last observed 925 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao before entering PAR around Monday noon.
It is expected to develop into a tropical depression within 24 to 48 hours and may approach the northern part of the country in the coming days.
While the LPA currently has no direct effect on the country, the enhanced southwest monsoon may bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to several regions until Tuesday, July 18.
PAGASA warns that these rains could result in flash floods or landslides.
The Philippines has had four tropical cyclones in 2023, with the latest being Dodong (Talim), which made landfall in Isabela as a tropical depression last Friday, July 14.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is verifying reports of one death in the aftermath of heavy rain from Dodong and the enhanced southwest monsoon.
