MANILA, Philippines — A low-pressure area (LPA) located east of Davao City will bring rain to parts of Visayas and Mindanao on Tuesday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

According to Pagasa weather specialist Ana Clauren, the LPA was first detected at 8:00 a.m. Monday, and was last spotted 735 kilometers east of Davao City.

“Itong LPA na ito ay mababa po ang tiyansa na maging isang bagyo ngunit inaasahan nating makakaapekto ito dito sa may bahagi ng Eastern Visayas, Northen Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region pati na rin sa Bohol,” said Clauren.
