Rainy in most parts of Philippines today – PAGASA

MANILA, Philippines — A low-pressure area and two other weather systems are expected to bring rains over most parts of the country today, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The low-pressure area was spotted 165 kilometers east of Guian, Eastern Samar as of 3 p.m. yesterday.

PAGASA said the weather system has a small chance of developing into a tropical depression, but would continue to move westward toward the Visayas.

The state weather bureau said the Visayas and Caraga might experience moderate to heavy rains, which may lead to flooding and landslides.

It said the northeast monsoon or amihan and tail-end of a frontal system would affect Bicol, Northern Mindanao, Mindoro and Kalayaan islands.

Amihan will bring rains over the northeastern parts of Luzon, particularly the Cordilleras and Cagayan Valley.

Most parts of Luzon and Metro Manila will have generally fair weather with cloudy skies and isolated rains.

Mindanao will experience isolated rains in the afternoon.

A gale warning remains up over most of the northern and southeastern seaboards of Luzon.
