Palawan will continue to experience rains throughout Thursday due to the prevailing southwest monsoon, the state weather bureau said.
“Para sa may Palawan, Visayas, at ibang bahagi ng Mindanao, inaasahan natin na magiging maulan din po ang kanilang panahon, pero dulot naman ito ng southwest monsoon,” PAGASA weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said
The temperature range in Puerto Princesa is expected between 25°C and 32°C.
As of 4 a.m., a low pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) was located 390 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora.
While it remains unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone within the day, it is forecast to bring rains across Luzon, including possible widespread rainfall in Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and the Cordillera region.
“Mababa pa naman yung chance na ito ay magiging isang ganap na bagyo pero inaasahan natin bilang low pressure area, magdadala ito ng mga pag-ulan, lalo na sa pagtawid na ito sa kalupaan natin dito sa Luzon na possible mangyari mamayang gabi o hanggang bukas,” she said.
Another LPA was also spotted outside PAR, about 2,815 kilometers east of Northern Luzon.
It has a medium chance of developing into a cyclone in the next few days, although it is not currently affecting the country.
“Hindi rin natin inaalis ang posibilidad na ito ay pumasok ng ating Philippine Area of Responsibility pero sa ngayon wala naman itong direktang epekto sa anumang parte ng ating bansa,” Dominguez added.
Dominguez said Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains due to the same low pressure system. Heavy rainfall warnings may be issued later in the day.
No gale warning was raised over any of the country’s seaboards, but PAGASA advised small vessels and fisherfolk to remain cautious.
