MANILA, Philippines — The trough or extension of a low – pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) will bring scattered rains to the Davao and Soccsksargen regions, and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on Monday, according to the state weather bureau.

The LPA was last spotted 560 kilometers east-southeast of Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its 4 a.m. update.

“Dito sa Davao region, gayon na rin sa Soccsksargen at Bangsamoro regions, magiging maulap ang kalangitan, may kalat-kalat na pag-ulan at pagkidlat, pagkulog na dulot ng trough ng LPA,” Pagasa weather specialist Meno Mendoza said.

(In the Davao, Soccsksargen and Bangsamoro regions, there will be cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the trough of the LPA.)

Meanwhile, the easterlies or warm winds from the Pacific Ocean will affect Luzon and Visayas.

Mendoza said  Luzon and Visayas will have hot and humid weather, but isolated rain showers due to localized  thunderstorms may occur in the afternoon or evening.

The rest of Mindanao will likewise have fair weather, with possible isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening, said Mendoza.
