MANILA, Philippines — Improved weather is expected in most parts of the country on Tuesday despite the effects of the southwest monsoon and the presence of a low pressure area (LPA) east of Mindanao, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
According to Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio, the LPA entered the Philippine area of responsibility and was spotted 925 kilometers east of Northeastern Mindanao.
However, it currently has no direct effect on the country.
“Bukas may epekto pa rin ang southwest monsoon sa Luzon at Visayas kaya maaasahan pa rin ang mauulap na kalangitan at may mga kalat kalat na pagulan at thunderstorms sa bay Bataan at Zambales,” said Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.
(Tomorrow, the southwest monsoon will still have an effect on Luzon and Visayas, so cloudy skies and scattered showers and thunderstorms are still expected in Bataan Bay and Zambales.)
“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon kasama ang Metro Manila, inaasahan natin na magiging maganda ang panahon, maaraw, halos buong araw bahagyang maulap na kalangitan pero may tiyansa pa rin ng isolated na pagulan,” he added.
(In the rest of Luzon including Metro Manila, we expect the weather to be good, sunny, mostly cloudy skies but there is still a chance of isolated rain.)
Fair weather conditions will likewise prevail over Visayas and Mindanao with chances of isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
