PAGASA warns: Widespread rain, thunderstorms due to Habagat, LPA
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a weather advisory for Thursday, August 21, predicting widespread rainfall due to the southwest monsoon (Habagat) and a low pressure area (LPA).
A low pressure area located east of Infensa, Quezon, poses a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within 24 hours.
Scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, and throughout the rest of Luzon due to the trough of the LPA.
Visayas, MIMAROPA, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, and parts of Mindanao will experience similar weather conditions caused by the southwest monsoon with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned that these weather conditions may cause flash floods or landslides.
