Low-Pressure Area Outside Philippine Area Brings Weather Updates
MANILA, Philippines — The state weather bureau closely monitored a low-pressure area outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) early Sunday morning. This weather disturbance was located 1,410 kilometers east of Central Luzon as of 8 a.m., according to official sources.
Despite its presence, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) assured the public that the low-pressure area outside the Philippine area has a low chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. Residents were advised to stay alert but remain calm.
Thunderstorm Advisories Issued Across Luzon
Earlier that day, Pagasa issued a thunderstorm advisory covering Metro Manila, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, and Rizal. The weather bureau reported thunderstorms affecting Metro Manila and eight other parts of Luzon during Sunday morning.
Furthermore, the southwest monsoon, locally called habagat, is expected to cause overcast skies and rain showers over the western regions of the country throughout the day. The rest of the nation will experience localized thunderstorms.
Public Preparedness and Weather Outlook
Local officials reminded communities to prepare for sudden weather changes due to the habagat and thunderstorms. While the low-pressure area outside the Philippine area poses minimal risk for intensification, residents should heed advisories to ensure safety during sudden heavy rains and possible flooding.
