LPA spotted off Polillo Island, not expected to intensify

A new low-pressure area (LPA) has formed within the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), now estimated to be over the coastal waters of Polillo Island in Quezon.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) stated that this LPA is not expected to intensify into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.

Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Aurora, Oriental Mindoro and Marinduque experienced cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the LPA.

Pagasa is monitoring a cloud cluster near the eastern edge of PAR, which has a possibility of developing into another LPA within 24 to 36 hours.

The prevailing weather condition across much of the Philippines is influenced by easterlies, which are warm winds originating from the Pacific Ocean.

Easterlies brought partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Visayas and Palawan.

The rest of the country experienced partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.
