The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday, Oct. 8 said the low pressure area (LPA) east of Visayas may enter the country’s area of responsibility within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said the LPA was last spotted 1,845 kilometers east of Visayas.
While the likelihood of the weather disturbance developing into a tropical depression remains low, Villamil said the trough or extension of the LPA may bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to some parts of Southern Luzon, Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas as early as Tuesday, Oct. 10.
As of Sunday, the LPA still has no direct effect on any part of the country.
PAGASA said the entire archipelago may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorms in the next 24 hours.
The public is advised to be vigilant against possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms, which are often accompanied by sudden heavy rains, lightning, thunder, gusts of wind, and sometimes hail.
