LPA, Habagat to bring scattered rains over PH

Scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in Metro Manila and other parts of the Philippines on Tuesday due to the trough of a low pressure area (LPA) and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.

The LPA, located 865 kilometers east of Northern Luzon, has a low chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

The LPA's trough will cause scattered rains and thunderstorms across Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Ifugao, and Benguet.

The Southwest Monsoon will also bring scattered rains and thunderstorms across Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.

PAGASA warned that moderate to heavy rains in these areas could result in flash floods or landslides.

The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers caused by the Southwest Monsoon and localized thunderstorms.

The whole archipelago is expected to experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
