3 more weather systems to bring cloudy skies with rains over parts of the country
A low pressure area (LPA) near Mindanao and three other weather systems are expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains to many parts of the country on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the four weather systems may bring cloudy and rainy weather to parts of the country within the next 24 hours.
In its latest weather forecast, PAGASA said the LPA was estimated to be 155 kilometers east-southeast of Tagum City, Davao del Norte.
The LPA, it added, is “embedded” along the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) affecting the Visayas and Mindanao.
Due to the LPA, cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and the Davao Region.
The shear line, on the other hand, will affect the Bicol Region and Quezon, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.
The rest of the Visayas and Mindanao may also experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the ITCZ.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon or “amihan” may bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains to the Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, Metro Manila, and the rest of Luzon.
PAGASA warned that flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains remain possible.
