Rains to continue ‍Across Philippines as Two Low Pressure Areas Monitored

MANILA – Rains are forecast to persist‍ over several parts of ⁢the philippines on ⁤Sunday,​ August 31, 2025, as ⁢state weather bureau PAGASA monitors ⁤two ⁤low pressure areas ⁢(LPAs) ⁣within the​ Philippine Area of Duty (PAR). The continued rainfall ⁢is attributed to both‌ the southwest monsoon,locally⁤ known as “habagat,” and the‍ influence of the two LPAs.

According to PAGASA, LPA 08h was last located 90 kilometers ‍east northeast of Daet, Camarines Norte, while LPA 08i ⁣was spotted 900 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas. Both ‌systems are currently‌ “unlikely”​ to develop ⁤into tropical depressions within ‍the next 24 hours.

The trough of‍ LPA 08h is ‍expected to bring cloudy​ skies with scattered rainshowers and ⁣thunderstorms over the Bicol Region,Eastern ⁢Visayas,and Quezon province. PAGASA has warned of‍ potential flash floods and​ landslides due to moderate⁤ to heavy ‍rainfall in these areas.

Meanwhile,the southwest monsoon will ‍continue to affect Metro ‌Manila,MIMAROPA,CALABARZON,the rest of ​Visayas,Zamboanga Peninsula,Northern⁣ Mindanao,and Caraga. The remainder of luzon​ and Mindanao may experience partly⁢ cloudy ⁢to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

PAGASA advises the public⁣ to remain vigilant‍ against possible flash floods and landslides, especially in low-lying⁢ and mountainous regions, ⁤and to closely monitor further weather updates.
