MANILA, Philippines – A low pressure area (LPA) has been spotted east of Surigao del Sur on Wednesday afternoon, March 19, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.

At 4 pm Wednesday, the LPA was spotted at 550 km east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. 

Mindanao, as well as Eastern and Central Visayas, will have cloudy skies accompanied with light to moderate rainshowers and isolated thunderstorms for the next 24 hours. Western Visayas will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Strong to gale force winds will affect the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao due to the surge of Northeasterly Surface Windflow.

Samar and Leyte will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms, while Surigao, Davao Oriental, Dinagat Island, and Siargao will have cloudy skies with light rains and isolated thunderstorms. 

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains. 

Coastal seas throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough, PAGASA said, as moderate to strong winds blow from east to northeast over Luzon, and from northeast to north over the rest of the country.
