Pagasa: Cloudy, wet Tuesday in 5 regions, 2 provinces due to LPA; fairer weather elsewhere
MANILA, Philippines — Five regions and two provinces will experience overcast skies and scattered rain showers on Tuesday due to the low pressure area (LPA) off Occidental Mindoro and the southwest monsoon, according to the state weather bureau.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was last monitored 95 kilometers northwest of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.
“Malaking bahagi ng bansa makakaranas ng maulap na kalangitan na may mga pag-ulan dahil sa habagat at LPA,” Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in an early morning forecast.
(A big part of the country will have cloudy skies and rains brought about by the southwest monsoon and the LPA.)
The following regions will be affected by the two weather systems throughout the day:
