MANILA, Philippines — There is a big likelihood that the low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility off Extreme Northern Luzon will become a tropical cyclone today (Monday, August 12).

“Itong low-pressure area na ito ay malaki ang tsansang maging bagyo ngayong araw na ito,” said Obet Badrina, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), in a public weather forecast.

The southwest monsoon, or habagat, affects the weather, according to Badrina.

Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan are expected to have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms will prevail in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
