A low pressure area (LPA) was expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility on Friday afternoon, the state weather bureau said.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said, however, that the weather system was not expected to turn into a tropical storm.
Gener Quitlong said the main weather system affecting the country were the easterlies, or wind coming from the Pacific Ocean, which brings warm weather.
Pagasa said temperatures in Metro Manila would range from 24 to 34 degrees Celsius. —JHESSET O. ENANO
