Low-Pressure Area Trough to Bring Widespread Rain
The trough of a low-pressure area and the southwest monsoon are set to deliver rain showers across the Philippines on Thursday, officials reported. This weather pattern is expected to affect many regions, prompting residents to prepare for wet conditions.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the trough of the low-pressure area was last detected 435 kilometers east of Mindanao early Thursday morning. Combined with the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, these systems will continue to influence the weather nationwide.
Areas Most Affected by the Rain Showers
Community members noted that the western sections of Luzon, including Metro Manila, and parts of Visayas and Mindanao will experience moderate to heavy rains. These conditions may cause localized flooding and landslides in vulnerable areas, especially in mountainous regions.
Local leaders advised residents to stay alert and monitor weather updates as the habagat brings moist air from the southwest, intensifying rainfall in affected provinces.
Precautionary Measures and Weather Advisories
Officials urged the public to exercise caution, particularly those living in flood-prone zones. They recommended securing loose objects outdoors and avoiding unnecessary travel during heavy downpours.
Transportation services might face delays or disruptions due to slippery roads and poor visibility. Community members should heed warnings and follow guidance from local authorities to stay safe.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Meteorological sources said the low-pressure area trough is expected to gradually move westward, continuing to influence the weather in the coming days. The southwest monsoon will persist, contributing to sustained rainfall, particularly over western parts of the country.
Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and prepare early for possible impacts from these weather systems.
