EL SALVADOR CITY, Misamis Oriental — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a weather advisory for Mindanao as a Low Pressure Area (LPA) east of Pag-asa Island, Kalayaan, Palawan continues to influence weather patterns across the southern Philippines.
As of 3:00 PM Tuesday, the LPA was estimated at 250 kilometers east of Pag-asa Island (10.9°N, 116.8°E). The system is embedded along the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which is currently affecting Mindanao, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms over most areas.
PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms could trigger flash floods or landslides, particularly in low-lying and mountainous areas. Winds across Mindanao will remain light to moderate coming from the east to southeast, while coastal waters are expected to be slight to moderate, ranging from 0.6 to 2.1 meters in wave height.
Regional Outlook
Across Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, Caraga, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), weather conditions will be generally similar — partly cloudy skies with occasional rainshowers and thunderstorms throughout the forecast period from 5:00 PM today until 5:00 PM tomorrow.
