MANILA, Philippines – A low pressure area was seen east of Southern Mindanao on Thursday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
In its latest weather forecast, Pagasa said that the low pressure area was seen 320 kilometers east of Southern Mindanao.
Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms.
Rains will become widespread over Palawan and the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, Pagasa warned.
Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms, the state-run weather bureau said.
“Moderate to strong winds blowing from the Northeast and East will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the East to Northeast with slight to moderate seas,” Pagasa added.
