Hot, humid Monday with scattered rain as LPA exits PAR

MANILA, Philippines — Hot and humid weather with scattered rain will prevail in most parts of the country on Monday after a low-pressure area (LPA) exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

Weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said the LPA last plotted 410 kilometers northeast of Pagasa Island, Palawan, finally left the PAR at 2 a.m. on Monday.

“Kaninang alas dos ng umaga ay tuluyan na ngang lumabas ng PAR itong LPA na ating minomonitor at sa kasalukuyan at sa mga susunod pang mga oras ay wala na itong magiging direktang epekto sa mga bahagi ng ating bansa,” Villamil said in a morning weather forecast.

(At 2 a.m., the LPA that we are monitoring came out of PAR, and in the next few hours, it will not directly impact any part of our country.)

“Kaya for the next 24 hours sa Metro Manila and the rest of the country ay makakaranas pa rin tayo ng pangkalahatang maaliwalas na panahon mainit at maalinsangang umaga hanggang tanghali at may tsansa tayong ng mga localized thunderstorms sa dakong hapon hanggang sa gabi,” he added.

(So, for the next 24 hours, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather with it being hot and humid in the morning until noon, while localized thunderstorms persist in the afternoon until the evening.)

Villamil also noted that easterlies would continue, especially in the eastern part of the country, adding that no LPA would likely develop in the next few days.

He said that no gale warning was hoisted over any of the country’s coastal waters.

• Metro Manila: 27 to 35 degrees Celsius
• Baguio City: 18 to 26 degrees Celsius
