LPA spotted east northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon, Habagat to bring rains

A Low Pressure Area (LPA) was spotted 730 km east northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon early Sunday, PAGASA said.

"Nananatiling mababa ang tsansa na ito ay maging bagyo. Pero magdadala ito ng mga pag-ulan sa Extreme Northern Luzon," PAGASA weather specialist Aldzar Aurelio said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

(The chance of the LPA developing into a tropical depression remains low. But it will bring rains over Extreme Northern Luzon.)

Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is affecting the western sections of Northern and Central Luzon.

PAGASA said Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the monsoon. Flash floods or landslides may result due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the Southwest Monsoon and localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may possibly occur.

Coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.

Sunrise was at 5:45 a.m. while sunset will be at 6:02 p.m. —KG, GMA Integrated News
