No Low Pressure Areas for Tropical Cyclone Formation
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) announced on Sunday afternoon that no low pressure areas for tropical cyclone formation are currently being monitored. This update reassures residents as the weather agency confirms a calm state in tropical cyclone activity within the region.
During the 4 p.m. advisory, Pagasa clarified that tropical storm “Nari” remains outside the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – Pagasa’s monitoring area. Authorities emphasized that no other developing tropical cyclones or disturbances are presently under watch.
Tracking Tropical Storm Nari Outside Philippine Area
Earlier reports indicated that as of 8 a.m., “Nari” was located 2,190 kilometers east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon, moving northward at 15 kilometers per hour (kph). The storm had maximum sustained winds of 65 kph with gusts reaching up to 80 kph. However, since it remains outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), it is not expected to affect the country directly.
Southwest Monsoon Brings Rainy Weather
Meanwhile, Pagasa’s 4 p.m. weather forecast highlighted the influence of the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat. This weather pattern continues to bring cloudy skies and scattered rain showers across various parts of the country.
The habagat is expected to cause rain and thunderstorms over Western Visayas, the Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Occidental Mindoro, Romblon, and Palawan. Metro Manila and other regions will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to this monsoon activity.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather conditions and prepare accordingly, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall and flooding.
