MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is continuously monitoring another low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), but said it is unlikely to develop into a typhoon within the next 24 hours.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said that the LPA was first monitored at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
“It was located 265 kilometers northwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. There is a slim chance that it would develop into a typhoon as during the month of March, typhoons are seldom formed as the water in oceans near our country are not yet hot. It is a main ingredient for the formation of cyclones,” Badrina said at a briefing yesterday.
However, Badrina said that the LPA will bring rains in Mimaropa and Western Visayas.
He added that aside from the LPA, the easterlies or the warm wind from the Pacific Oceans will bring rains in the eastern portion of Luzon, Bicol region, Quezon, Eastern Visayas, Caraga and Davao region.
On the other hand, the highest heat indexes recorded on Saturday were in Ilocos Norte – Laoag City with 43 degrees Celsius and Batac with 42 degrees Celsius.
