LPA now out of PAR but may still bring rains in Kalayaan Island

MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area is now outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), but it will still continue to bring rains in Kalayaan Island on Friday, the state weather bureau reported on Thursday.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) told reporters that the LPA is now out of the PAR as of 5 in the afternoon but will still bring scattered rains in Kalayaan Island.

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region and Aurora, on the other hand, will also have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to shear line or the tail end of a cold front.

Davao and Caraga region will also experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to easterlies or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience a fair weather condition.

Pagasa weather specialist Raymond Ordinario said there are no weather disturbances being detected for the rest of the week.

“Dahil sa papalabas na low pressure area ay wala na tayong inaasahang bagyo,” Ordinario said in a public weather forecast.

Meanwhile, Pagasa still raised a gale warning in the seaboards of Batanes, which is expected to experience rough to very rough sea condition to 2.8 to 4.5 meters of waves due to the surge of northeast monsoon.
