WEATHER UPDATE — According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), an LPA (Low-Pressure Area) located near Visayas has high chances of becoming a Tropical Depression and may make landfall in Eastern Visayas or Northern Luzon. Meanwhile, the Amihan or Northeast Monsoon is affecting Northern Luzon.
The Low-Pressure Area is now located 345 km East of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur (9.0°N, 133.5°E), and the LPA is embedded along the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone).
“Itong Low-Pressure Area ay nakapaloob sa isang weather system, ito’y ang Intertropical Convergence Zone o ITCZ,” said PAGASA Weather Forecaster Aldczar Aurelio.
