Heavy rainfall warning is in effect over six areas resulting from a low pressure area (LPA), which stays more likely to turn into a tropical cyclone, based on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday.
The LPA was last positioned over the coastal waters of Romblon, Romblon, PAGASA said in its 10 a.m. Tropical Cyclone Formation Outlook.
It continues to have a “high likelihood” of developing right into a tropical cyclone inside the subsequent 24 hours.
If it develops, it’s going to be locally named Henry, the country’s eighth tropical cyclone this yr.
Heavy rainfall warnings have been raised over six areas resulting from the results of the LPA, PAGASA said in a separate 5 a.m. advisory.
These areas include Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Aklan, and Capiz.
PAGASA said that heavy rainfall of fifty to 100 millimeters (mm) is anticipated over these areas, which can trigger flooding and landslides in prone areas. — Edg Adrian A. Eva
