LPA to bring rains over Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Batanes, Babuyan Islands

A Low Pressure Area (LPA) northeast of Benguet will bring rains over Ilocos Norte and three other provinces on Monday, PAGASA said in its advisory.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Batanes and Babuyan Islands due to the LPA. Flash floods or landslides may occur during severe thunderstorms.

The easterlies meanwhile are affecting the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may occur.

At 3 a.m., the LPA was located at 56 km northwest of Baguio City, Benguet. PAGASA said it is not likely to intensify into a tropical depression.

Coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.

Sunrise was at 5:42 a.m. Sunset will be at 6:18 p.m. —KG, GMA News
