MANILA, Philippines — Cloud clusters with a chance of developing into low-pressure areas (LPAs) are currently being monitored in the eastern section of Visayas and Mindanao.
Weather forecaster Aldczar Aurelio of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued the advisory regarding the brewing LPA in Thursday’s bulletin.
“Mayroon po kaming binabantayan na mga kumpulan ng kaulapan sa Dagat Pasipiko sa east of Visayas at Mindanao. Base sa mga data na aming nakalap, may posibilidad na may mabuong LPA sa bandang kumpulan ng mga kaulapan na ito,” he said.
