New LPA over WPS, habagat brings rain to south
A low pressure area (LPA) affecting Luzon's eastern coast dissipated on Wednesday morning, August 27, while a new LPA formed over the West Philippine Sea with medium potential for storm formation within 24 hours.
Located 250 kilometers west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan, this new LPA could leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as early as Wednesday evening or Thursday, August 28, according to PAGASA weather specialist John Manalo.
The southwest monsoon (habagat) is still affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, bringing scattered rain and thunderstorms to these regions on Wednesday, while Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, and Antique may experience 50-100 mm of rainfall from Wednesday to Thursday noon.
PAGASA warned that landslides and floods are possible in areas receiving heavy rainfall due to the habagat, with some schools suspending classes on Wednesday due to inclement weather conditions.
