LPA to bring rain in Bicol, Visayas, Mindanao — Pagasa聽
MANILA, Philippines — The low-pressure area now inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (LPA) will cause rains on Monday in the Bicol region and in many parts of Visayas and Mindanao.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was last spotted 855 km east of Visayas as of 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
“Bagamat maliit ang tiyansa nito na maging bagyo within 12-24 hours, yung trough o extension ng ating low pressure area ay magdudulot ng maulap na kalangitan, mga pag-ulan at pulu-pulong pagkidlat at pagkulog sa buong Visayas at Mindanao ngayong gabi,” senior weather specialist Chris Perez said.
(While there is a small chance of the LPA becoming a typhoon within 12-24 hours, the trough or extension of the low-pressure area will cause cloudy skies, isolated rains, and thunderstorms in Visayas and Mindanao tonight.)
