PAGASA monitors 2 LPAs, expects no direct impact

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring two low pressure areas (LPAs) outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).

LPA 07c, which has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression, has already exited the PAR.

Another LPA, 07d, located 2,105 km east of extreme Northern Luzon, has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression within 24 hours but is not expected to enter the PAR.

The remnants of Tropical Depression Bising (Danas) are located 570 km northwest of Itbayat, Batanes, and are unlikely to redevelop.

These LPAs will have no direct effect on the country, but may enhance the Southwest Monsoon affecting western parts of the country.

The Southwest Monsoon continues to bring rains over different parts of the country, with occasional rains predicted over Zamboanga Peninsula.

Metro Manila, Visayas, the rest of Mindanao, Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan can expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Possible flash floods or landslides may occur in some areas due to these weather conditions.
