Rainy Sunday Ahead: LPA and <a class="text-blue-700" href="/en-PH/search/Habagat?source=wd1">Habagat</a> Bring Showers to Luzon and Visayas

Manila, Philippines – Get ready for a wet Sunday across parts of the Philippines as a low-pressure area (LPA) and the Southwest Monsoon, locally known as Habagat, combine to bring widespread rainfall. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a weather forecast indicating significant precipitation across several regions.

LPA East of Quezon: A Key Rain Driver

The LPA, currently located east of Quezon province, is expected to be the primary driver of the rainfall. PAGASA's latest updates suggest that this LPA is gradually moving westward, and its influence will be felt across a large portion of the country. While it's not expected to directly hit land as a tropical cyclone, its presence will contribute to persistent and potentially heavy showers, particularly in the eastern parts of Luzon.

Habagat's Reinforcing Effect

Adding to the rainy conditions is the continuing Southwest Monsoon (Habagat). This seasonal wind pattern brings moisture from the West Philippine Sea, further enhancing rainfall across Luzon and the Visayas. The combined effect of the LPA and Habagat means that residents in these areas should brace for potentially challenging weather conditions.

Areas Likely to be Affected

According to PAGASA, the following areas are most likely to experience rain on Sunday:
