MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) is currently monitoring a cloud cluster outside the Philippine area of responsibility where a low pressure area (LPA) might develop.
The cloud cluster is located east of Mindanao, weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in a weather forecast issued by Pagasa at 4 a.m. Wednesday.
“Sa cloud cluster ay may posibilidad na may mabuong low pressure area kaya patuloy po natin itong babantayan,” he said.
(An LPA may develop in the cloud cluster so we are continuously monitoring it.)
Meanwhile, Pagasa’s forecast also showed that Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the tail-end of a frontal system.
The easterlies or warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean, on the other hand, will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and northern Quezon including Polillo Islands.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have fair weather, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies and isolated rain showers either due to localized thunderstorms or easterlies, according to Pagasa.
