August 25, 2025 – Mindanao
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has warned of possible flash floods and landslides as a Low Pressure Area (LPA) east of Southern Leyte continues to affect Northern Mindanao and Caraga, while the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) dampens the Zamboanga Peninsula.
At 3:00 AM today, the LPA was spotted 365 km east of Maasin City, Southern Leyte (10.3°N, 128.2°E). The weather disturbance will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Northern Mindanao and Caraga. Meanwhile, localized thunderstorms are expected to affect other parts of the island.
