MANILA – Mindanao and a huge part of the Visayas will experience rain showers due to a low pressure area (LPA) and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the weather bureau said Tuesday, May 2.
The LPA embedded along the ITCZ was last spotted 490 kilometers east of Davao City.
“It has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone,” said Grace Castañeda of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Both the LPA and the ITCZ will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Mindanao, and over Eastern and Central Visayas. PAGASA said flash floods or landslides are possible in these areas due to moderate to heavy rains.
Castañeda said the rest of the country would continue to experience generally fair weather due to the easterlies.
Isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms are also likely.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail in the entire archipelago, PAGASA said. (PNA)
