The latest storm and low pressure information on the morning of August 27 from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that at 2:00 a.m. the same day, a low pressure area formed in the East Sea at 8:00 a.m. This new low pressure area is currently within the Philippine forecast area (PAR), about 190km from Dagupan, Pangasinan, Philippines.

Philippine storm forecasters say the low pressure in the East Sea at 8am has a medium chance of strengthening into a storm or tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the South China Sea Low Pressure Area 08f is still being monitored east of the Philippines, within the PAR forecast area. Low Pressure Area 08f is currently offshore Jomalig, Quezon and is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

According to PAGASA weather forecasters, the low pressure near the South China Sea coupled with the southwest monsoon is expected to bring widespread rains across the Philippines. The areas that will be most affected are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

PAGASA indicated that Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur will experience cloudy skies, scattered rains and thunderstorms due to low pressure near the South China Sea.

The southwest monsoon also brings scattered rains and thunderstorms over Visayas, Mimaropa, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Soccsksargen and the rest of the Bicol region. The rest of Mindanao may experience cloudy skies, scattered showers or thunderstorms.

Heavy rains are expected to occur in Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Antique and Negros Occidental from the afternoon of August 27 to the afternoon of August 28.

Rainfall may be heavier in mountainous and highland areas, with worse impacts possible in provinces that have experienced heavy rains in recent days, PAGASA noted.

PAGASA advises residents and local disaster risk reduction agencies to take preventive measures against floods and landslides.
