LPA not likely to develop into tropical depression

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring a low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).

The LPA was monitored 1,170 kilometers northeast of extreme Northern Luzon. It could exit PAR within the day and is not likely to develop into a tropical depression.

The weather agency said that Metro Manila and the rest of the country may see cloudy skies and isolated rains due to localized thunderstorms.

The southwest monsoon is bringing isolated rains over Batanes and the Babuyan islands. Still, PAGASA warned of possible floods and landslides during at times heavy rains.

Temperatures in Metro Manila will range between 25 to 34 degrees Celsius.
