The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday morning, Oct. 10, said that the low pressure area (LPA) inside the country’s area of responsibility may develop into a tropical depression within 48 hours.
The next tropical cyclone name on PAGASA’s list is Maymay.
In its 6 a.m. weather advisory, PAGASA said the LPA was last seen 450 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City.
It said that the LPA, together with the shear line, will bring moderate to heavy rains over Cagayan, while Batanes, northern portion of Isabela, Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, and Ilocos Norte will have light to heavy rains.
“Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are likely, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in areas with significant antecedent rainfall,” PAGASA warned.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Moreover, weather specialist Obet Badrina said PAGASA is also monitoring another LPA outside the country’s area of responsibility.
As of Monday morning, the LPA was located 1,880 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas and has no direct effect yet on the country.
