LPA forms east of Surigao, brings rain to Visayas, Mindanao
A low pressure area (LPA) formed within the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Tuesday and is causing scattered rain and thunderstorms across parts of Visayas and Mindanao as of Wednesday morning.
Located 220 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, the LPA has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours but could lead to flash floods or landslides during periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.
PAGASA warned residents in Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, and Siquijor of possible weather-related hazards due to the LPA.
Metro Manila and other parts of the country can expect partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by easterlies as PAGASA has yet to declare the end of the northeast monsoon (Amihan) season despite transitioning into the warm and dry season.
The weather bureau advised the public last Friday, March 21, to continue taking precautionary measures to minimize heat stress and prevent health risks associated with intense heat.
