Rain to continue over parts of Luzon, Visayas due to several weather systems – Pagasa
Several weather systems will bring rain over parts of Luzon, and Visayas on Wednesday, says Pagasa.
MANILA, Philippines — Rain and cloudy skies will continue over several parts of the country, especially Luzon on Wednesday due to the presence of several weather systems, including two low-pressure areas (LPA), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
According to Pagasa, the first LPA was last spotted in the vicinity of Homonhon Island, Eastern Samar, while the other LPA was last spotted 330 kilometers west of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
“Inaasahan nga natin dahil sa epekto ng LPA at shearline dito sa Bicol Region, pati na rin sa bandang Quezon at Kalayaan Islands, magpapatuloy pa rin ang pagulan o scattered rain showers at thunderstorms,” said Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres.
(We expect that due to the LPA and the shear line, scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will continue over Bicol Region, Quezon and Kalayaan Islands.)
