MANILA, Philippines – The low pressure area (LPA) embedded in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will continue to bring rain to the country on Friday, November 4.

In its bulletin issued 5 pm on Thursday, November 3, state weather bureau PAGASA said the LPA embedded in the ITCZ is 185 kilometers east of Sorsogon City. The ITCZ is affecting Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

On Friday, moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms which could trigger floods and landslides are expected in the regions of Bicol and Eastern Visayas, as well as the province of Quezon.

There will also be light to moderate rain and thunderstorms in Metro Manila, Mimaropa, the rest of Calabarzon, the rest of the Visayas, and also in Mindanao.

The rest of Luzon will have light rain.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Meari remains outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), hardly moving at 1,435 kilometers east of Luzon. It still has maximum winds of up to 65 kilometers per hour (km/h) and gustiness of up to 80 km/h.

When Meari enters PAR, it will be named Marce.

PAGASA also continues to monitor a tropical depression which is outside PAR as well. This tropical depression is 2,215 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon, moving west northwest at 15 km/h. It still has maximum winds of up to 55 km/h and gustiness of up to 70 km/h.

Since both Tropical Storm Meari and the tropical depression are still outside PAR, they have no direct effect on the Philippines just yet, according to PAGASA. – Rappler.com
