PAGASA Says LPA to Bring Rainy Weather Over Parts of PH
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that a low-pressure area will bring rainy weather conditions over South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
On Friday (January 13, 2023), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. A low-pressure area and the northeast monsoon will continue to affect the country’s weather condition.
PAGASA reported that the low-pressure area has been last spotted 140 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. The LPA’s center will move towards Visayas and Mindanao.
The LPA will bring cloudy weather condition with scattered to widespread rain showers and thunderstorms over Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Negros Occidental, Albay, Masbate, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes.
Similar weather condition is also expected over Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, MIMAROPA, the rest of Western Visayas, the rest of Bicol Region, and Quezon.
“Base naman po sa tinatahak ng LPA ngayong araw, almost stationary or halos hindi kikilos itong nasabing LPA. Then bukas inaasahan, lalo sa broad circulation nito, somewhere between Visayas and Mindanao na yung sentro ng low pressure area,” Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja said.
The northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies with rains over Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, the rest of CALABARZON, and Aurora.
Amihan will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains over Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region and the rest of Central Luzon. The localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather condition over the rest of Mindanao.
The weather agency has also warned the public of possible flooding and landslides due to moderate with at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water conditions over Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will be moderate to rough.
