A LOW pressure area (LPA) east of the Visayas is expected to dump more rains in the coming days, the state weather bureau Pag-asa said yesterday.
As of 5 p.m. yesterday, the LPA was located 575 kilometers east of northern Samar.
“Expect occurrence of rains to last for about one to two hours,” weather analyst Evangeline Tolentino of Pag-asa’s Mactan station said.
She said the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will also bring cloudy skies with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms in the Visayas and Mindanao region.
