“Sa lagay ng panahon ngayong araw, maganda at maaliwalas na panahon ang inaasahan po natin sa Luzon, at ganoon din po sa Visayas at sa Mindanao,” weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said.

Pagasa shared that the Typhoon Jenny, which is now outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), enhances this southwest monsoon.
Meanwhile, the low pressure area (LPA) that the weather bureau is monitoring remains outside the PAR. It was last seen 1,310 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.

The LPA was reported to be less likely to develop into a tropical depression within the day.
“Within 24 hours, mababa ang tiyansa na maging bagyo itong low pressure area na nasa labas ng PAR,” Aurelio noted.
(Within 24 hours, the chance of this low pressure area becoming a typhoon is low.)
No gale warning is raised in the coastal waters of the country, Pagasa said.
