Earlier, Pagasa said that “Liwayway” ceased to have a direct effect on the country’s over-all weather condition, although it continues to intensify the southwest monsoon or “Habagat.”
Just this afternoon, a heavy to intense rainfall warning with possible lightning and strong winds was raised over Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, and Zambales.
Before leaving the country, “Liwayway” brought rains to the eastern part of Luzon and Visayas. Meanwhile, another low pressure area located near Surigao del Sur in Mindanao is being monitored by local weather specialists. /jpv
