A possible low pressure area (LPA) may soon form within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by next week, enhancing the Southwest Monsoon, according to the state weather bureau on Friday.
PAGASA said that the new LPA may form in the northeastern portion of the PAR, and it could move west to enter the area.
“At ito pong potential na low pressure area ay maaaring hatakin at palakasin ulit ang habagat simula Sunday onwards,” PAGASA weather specialist Leanne Loreto said in the agency’s 5 a.m. forecast.
(This potential low pressure area could draw in and enhance the southwest monsoon starting Sunday onwards.)
The rains could reach 100 ml in La Union, Benguet, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan and Occidental Mindoro, Loreto said.
