MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area (LPA) located near Palawan and within the area that experiencing intertropical convergence zone will continue to bring cloudy skies and rain particularly in Palawan, Kalayaan Islands and parts of Mindanao on Friday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
According to Pagasa weather specialist Raymond Ordinario, the LPA was spotted 360 kilometers west southwest of Puerto Princesa City.
“Maliit ang tiyansa ng nasabing LPA na maging bagyo ngunit patuloy pa rin itong magdadala ng mga pagulan kasabay ng ITCZ dito sa Mindanao and Palawan area,” said Ordinario in a weather report on Thursday afternoon.
(The chance of the said LPA becoming a typhoon is small but it will continue to bring rain along with the ITCZ here in the Mindanao and Palawan areas.)
Because of this, overcast skies and rain are still forecast over Kalayaan Islands and Palawan, as well as the Zamboanga area in Mindanao.
“Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon ay magkakaroon pa rin ng maaliwalas na panahon maliban na lamang sa mga isolated rain showers or thunderstorm,” said Ordinario.
(Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will still have clear weather except for isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.)
The same weather conditions will also be experienced in Visayas and the rest of Mindanao.

- Metro Manila: 26 to 35 degrees Celsius
- Baguio City: 17 to 25 degrees Celsius
- Laoag City: 25 to 33 degrees Celsius
- Tuguegarao: 24 to 36 degrees Celsius
