MANILA, Philippines — The state weather bureau said that rains would be expected on most parts of the country on Monday, October 21, due to the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA).
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough of the LPA would be experienced in areas in Southern Luzon, Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and Mindanao, said the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (Pagsa) on their October 20 afternoon forecast.
