One of the Low Pressure Areas (LPAs) being monitored in the East portion of the country dissipated, while the other LPA was out of the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday, Sept. 24.

The LPA outside PAR was last seen 600 kilometers West of Iba, Zambales, and it still has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone according to PAGASA.

However, the trough of the LPA outside PAR affects Luzon particularly North and Central Luzon according to PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James Villamil.

Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon or "habagat" still affects Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao as per the report.

With this, PAGASA said that cloudy skies with isolated rain showers, thunder, and lightning will be experienced in Luzon and Visayas.

In Mindanao, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of localized thunderstorms will be experienced as per PAGASA.

PAGASA warned against moderate to heavy rains that may bring flash floods and landslides in the said areas.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of localized thunderstorms at night will be experienced in North and Central Luzon as well as in Metro Manila in the next three days, the state-run weather bureau said. (Lizst Torres Abello)
