LPA to bring rains over Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas - PAGASA

MANILA, Philippines, August 26 ------ Metro Manila and some parts of Luzon and Visayas may expect rains today due to the low-pressure area (LPA) east of the country, the state weather bureau PAGASA said. As of 3 a.m., the LPA is estimated to be at the coastal waters of Paracale, Camarines Norte. Due to the LPA, Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas may expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.

The state weather bureau warned residents of these areas of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate and heavy rains. MIMAROPA, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and the rest of Visayas may expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.
