Philippine Atmospheric and Geophysical Services Administration has forecast that rain showers will prevail in most parts of the country on Wednesday.

This condition is due to a low pressure area (LPA) east of Surigao del Norte and the southwest monsoon or “habagat.”

The state bureau is not ruling out the possibility that the LPA will become a typhoon while moving closer to our landmass and it will trigger rainfall in the coming days.
