Another LPA spotted

A new weather disturbance was spotted within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

At 3:00 AM today, the Low Pressure Area (LPA) was at 415 kilometers east-northeast of Basco, Batanes. According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Robert Badrina, it may develop into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours and will move farther away from the country.

Although the LPA has no direct effect on the country, the Monsoon Trough, a weather system composed of converging winds, will bring rains today. Cloudy skies with light to moderate rains will be experienced in Caraga Region including Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will prevail in the rest of the country including Metro Manila.

There’s no gale warning today but seafarers and those who have small fishing boats are still advised to take precautionary measures.
