Visayas, Mindanao, parts of Luzon to continue to have rains due to LPA, ITCZ
Several parts of the country will continue to experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the low pressure area (LPA) embedded along the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Tuesday afternoon, May 2.
PAGASA last located the LPA 210 kilometers east-southeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur around 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
Romblon, Bicol Region, Visayas, and Mindanao will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms as a result of the combined effects of the LPA and ITCZ.
PAGASA warned against possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rains in these areas.
Meanwhile, the easterlies, or warm air from the Pacific Ocean, will continue to bring hot and humid weather to the rest of the country.
Although warm weather persists, PAGASA said isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may affect some areas due to localized thunderstorms.
The public is advised to exercise caution as severe thunderstorms may also cause flash floods or landslides, especially in areas vulnerable to these hazards.
