PAGASA Says 2 LPAs to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that two low-pressure areas will bring rain over parts of the country.
On Saturday (July 20, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. Two low-pressure areas will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that Tropical Depressions Butchoy and Carina will have minimal to no effect on any part of the country as the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat is forecasted to bring cloudy skies with rains over several areas.
Tropical Depression Butchoy was last spotted 535 kilometers west of Tanauan City, Batangas. It has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center with gustiness of up to 70 kph.
Tropical Depression Carina was last located 780 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes packing maximum sustained winds of 45 kph with gustiness of up to 55 kph.
The two weather systems are unlikely to directly affect the country within the next three days.
Carina is expected to develop in the next few days while Butchoy will leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this morning.
Butchoy and Carina will enhance the southwest monsoon, which will bring moderate to heavy rains over the western portion of Luzon. It will also bring gusty conditions over the Kalayaan Islands over the next three days.
The southwest monsoon will also bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Antique, Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Zambales, and Bataan.
Habagat will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Mindanao, the rest of Visayas, and the rest of MIMAROPA.
The localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, according to PAGASA.
