The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warned on Sunday, Sept. 14, that a low-pressure area (LPA) will bring heavy rains over parts of Luzon until Monday afternoon.
In its Weather Advisory No. 7 issued at 5 p.m., PAGASA said Rizal, Aurora, and Quezon may experience 50 to 100 millimeters of rainfall.
“Forecast rainfall may be higher in mountainous and elevated areas. Moreover, impacts in some areas may be worsened by significant antecedent rainfall,” the weather bureau said.
It urged local disaster offices to prepare for possible impacts.
“The public disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property,” PAGASA stressed.
The bureau added that its regional divisions may issue location-specific alerts as needed.
“PAGASA Regional Services Divisions may issue Heavy Rainfall Warnings/Thunderstorm Advisories, and other severe weather information specific to their areas of responsibility as appropriate,” it stated.
