Meanwhile, fair weather is expected in most parts of the country in the next three days, apart from isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
The last LPA that enters the Philippines which was spotted in Mindanao is likely to dissipate or continue to cross Southern Luzon towards the West Philippine Sea.
PAGASA also denied speculations that a super typhoon will hit the Philippines this week, according to some text messages, a super typhoon as strong as Yolanda will hit the country this coming Wednesday, December 3, 2014.
