The entire country will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms as two low-pressure areas have entered Philippine territory, the state weather bureau said.
In its weather bulletin issued at 4 p.m. yesterday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said one of the weather systems was spotted at 190 kilometers west southwest of Basco, Batanes and the other at 465 km east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar.
These will cause cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Batanes and Babuyan Islands, it said. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will also experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned that flash floods or landslides are possible during severe thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds can be expected over the entire country. Sea waves can be light to moderate and may reach as high as 0.6 to 2.1 meters.
Temperatures will range from 25 degrees Celsius in the morning to up to 31.8 degree Celsius in the afternoon. Cloudy yet humid weather with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms is expected to persist until Thursday.
Meanwhile, PAGASA senior weather specialist Chris Perez said the bureau is also monitoring another low-pressure area, still outside Philippine area of responsibility as of 3 p.m. yesterday. This was last spotted at 1,620 km east of Borongan City, Eastern Samar.
Perez said that while the new weather system still has no direct effect on the country, it may also enter the territory in the coming days, while one of two existing low-pressure areas inside Philippine area of responsibility may weaken or leave.
He noted that there is a slim chance for any of these weather systems to develop into a storm in the next24 hours.
