Weather Today – June 11, 2017 | LPA prevails

Several parts of Luzon experienced rainy weather yesterday due to the Low Pressure Area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). Despite its slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone or “bagyo”, this weather disturbance will continue to bring rains today.

Cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms are expected in Ilocos Region and the provinces of Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro and Palawan. Meanwhile, the remaining parts of the archipelago including Metro Manila will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

In an interview with Panahon TV, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Lori dela Cruz said that the LPA may exit the PAR within the next 24 hours. No gale warning was issued but moderate to occasionally rough seas may be observed in the western seaboards of Luzon. Fisherfolk and those with smallsea craft are advised to be vigilant as they venture out into the sea.

“Araw ng Kalayaan” Weather Outlook

Once the LPA exits the PAR, the weather may be favorable for the celebration of Independence Day tomorrow, June 12, 2017. According to PAGASA, the whole country can expect improved weather conditions due to the Ridge of a High Pressure Area (HPA). Partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail, only with chances of rain showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
