LPA brings rain, storms to N Luzon; flash flood warning

A trough of a low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility may cause scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in northern Luzon on Wednesday.

Weather specialist Obet Badrina warned that Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur will experience moderate to heavy rainfall, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

Pagasa advises residents in these areas to remain vigilant due to the high risk of flooding and landslides from expected thunderstorms.

Localized thunderstorms may also bring rain to Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon while the southwest monsoon (habagat) will affect Mimaropa and Palawan over the weekend.

Visayas and eastern Mindanao are forecasted to have fair weather with chances of rain from thunderstorms, while western Mindanao may experience habagat effects as well.

Pagasa predicts a temperature range in key cities across the country for Wednesday, with Metro Manila expecting temperatures between 27 to 34 degrees Celsius.

No tropical cyclone is expected to affect or enter the country throughout the week.
