Weather Today – September 22, 2017 | LPA, Habagat bring scattered rains

A Low Pressure Area remains inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was last spotted at 175 kilometers northeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. This disturbance is a weather system where the atmospheric pressure is lower than its surroundings.

PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza said the possibility for this LPA to develop into a Tropical Cyclone remains slim but it will continue to dump rains in most parts of the archipelago.

Visayas, Mindanao, Bicol Region and the provinces of Mindoro, Marinduque and Romblon will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. The same weather condition will be experienced in Palawan due to Hanging Habagat. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Mendoza noted that rains may last until the weekend so the public is advised to monitor updates. He added that the Habagat may still affect the archipelago until the end of the month. The transition period wherein the shifting from the Habagat to Amihan Season is anticipated in October.

For sea travellers, no gale warning was issued today. Northern and Central Luzon, as well as Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will have slight to moderate sea conditions. Fishing boats can safely venture out into the seas but should always take caution.
