MANILA, Philippines — Three weather systems may bring cloudy skies and scattered rains to some parts of the country on Wednesday, April 30, state weather bureau PAGASA said.
In its weather forecast, PAGASA said the low pressure area (LPA) is estimated at 805 kilometers east of Southern Mindanao as of 3 a.m. The LPA is also embedded in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), affecting some areas.
However, the LPA has a low chance of developing into a typhoon, according to PAGASA.
The Davao Region may expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough of LPA.
The state weather bureau warned residents of this area of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to, at times, heavy rains.
Palawan and the rest of Mindanao may also expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the ITCZ.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
