MANILA, Philippines — Rain is expected to occur over the entire Visayas and most parts of Mindanao on Tuesday due to the low-pressure area (LPA) east of Davao City, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
According to Pagasa senior weather specialist Chris Perez, the LPA was last seen 120 kilometers east of Davao City.
“Patuloy na inaasahang kikilos pakanluran at maapektuhan pa rin ang buong Visayas at nakakaraming bahagi ng Mindanao nitong binabantayan nating LPA,” he said.
(The LPA is expected to continue to move westward and still affect the entire Visayas and most parts of Mindanao.)
“Maulap, kalat-kalat ang mga pag-ulan, at pagkidlat at pagkulog sa Zamboanga del Norte, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region at buong Visayas,” he also said.
(Cloudy skies, scattered rain, and lightning and thunder may be expected in Zamboanga del Norte, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region and throughout the Visayas.)
Pagasa added that the trough of the LPA will bring overcast skies and rain over the Bicol Region.
