Rainy Friday in parts of Bicol, Visayas, Mindanao due to LPA off E.Samar — Pagasa
MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area (LPA) east of Eastern Samar will trigger rainfall in the Bicol region and Eastern Visayas on Friday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Thursday.
In its Thursday afternoon bulletin, Pagasa said the LPA was spotted some 720 kilometers east of Borongan, Eastern Samar, and may intensify into a storm in the next 48 hours.
“Sa magiging panahon bukas dito sa Luzon magpapatuloy pa rin ang epekto ng LPA at magpapaulan sa ilang bahagi ng Bicol region,” said Pagasa weather forecaster Rhea Torres.
(In Luzon, the effect of the LPA will continue and will trigger rain in parts of the Bicol region)
“Sa Kabisayaan at sa Mindanao ay makakaranas pa rin ng pagulan particularly ilang bahagi ng Eastern Visayas dulot pa rin ng LPA,” she added.
(In the Visayas and Mindanao, rain is also expected, particularly in parts of Eastern Visayas due to the LPA.)
Meanwhile, the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, will experience relatively fairer weather with hot and humid temperature.
Rain showers and thunderstorms, however, are possible in the afternoon and evening.
No gale warning was raised over any of the country’s seaboards.
