LPA over West Philippine Sea to bring scattered rains to western Luzon

A low pressure area (LPA) over the West Philippine Sea is moving away from the country but may still bring scattered rains over western Luzon, including Metro Manila, until Tuesday.

The LPA was last observed 260 kilometers west of Coron, Palawan, and is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone.

It is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Tuesday, September 16.

A resurgence of the southwest monsoon or habagat may also occur, bringing rains to Palawan beginning Wednesday.

Residents in affected areas are warned of possible flash floods and landslides due to the potential for moderate to heavy rainfall.

This LPA caused flooding in some parts of Southern Luzon over the weekend.

The Philippines has already experienced 12 tropical cyclones this year, with two occurring in September.
