Low pressure area seen east of southern Mindanao—Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines – A low pressure area was seen east of southern Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Monday.

The LPA was seen 700 kilometers east of Southern Mindanao embedded along the intertropical convergence zone affecting Visayas and Mindanao, it said.

Meanwhile, Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming cloudy with widespread rains over Eastern and Central Visayas and Northern Mindnanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, it added.

The rest of the country will be cloudy to partly cloudy to at times cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening, the state-run weather bureau said.

Light to moderate winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and Visayas and coming from the northeast to east over Mindanao, while the coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate, it said.
