MANILA, Philippines — A low-pressure area (LPA) and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) are expected to bring rain and overcast skies to parts of the country on Tuesday, May 2.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its Monday afternoon forecast that the LPA was last spotted 975 kilometers east of Mindanao.

“Dahil sa patuloy na epekto ng ITCZ at patuloy na paglapit ng LPA, patuloy na makakaranas ng mauulap na kalangitan at kalat-kalat na pagulan sa Eastern Visayas at buong Mindanao,” said Pagasa weather forecaster Daniel James Villamil. The rest of Visayas, on the other hand, will have relatively fairer weather.

(Due to the continued effects of the ITCZ and as the LPA moves closer, Eastern Visayas and the whole of Mindanao will continue to experience cloudy skies and scattered rains.)

Pagasa also reiterated that the LPA still has no chance of developing into a tropical storm.
