PAGASA Reported That New LPA East of Northern Luzon Could Intensify Into Tropical Cyclone
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that the new low-pressure area spotted east of Northern Luzon could turn into Tropical Cyclone.
On Tuesday (September 4, 2018), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released the latest weather update in the country.
PAGASA is now monitoring a new low-pressure area east of Northern Luzon that might intensify into a tropical cyclone.
The weather specialist Ariel Rojas explained that the trough of Typhoon Maymay (Jebi) has formed the new LPA.
Maymay was still affecting the parts of the country although it was already moving outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).
The low-pressure area was last spotted at 1,530 kilometers east of Northern Luzon, which has a slim possibility of developing into a tropical cyclone.
The southwest monsoon will still affect southern Luzon, entire Visayas, and Mindanao.
Metro Manila, Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan, Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Aklan, Antique, Negros Occidental, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi would have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunder storms.
The remaining parts of the country would have localized thunderstorms bringing cloudy skies with isolated rain showers.
The weather agency has also advised the residents living in low-lying and mountainous areas to take precautionary measures for possible flashfloods and landslides.
