A low pressure area (LPA) was bringing rain to the southern and central portions of Luzon on Sunday, September 19.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in an advisory at 11 am on Sunday that the LPA was located 90 kilometers northeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar.

Moderate to heavy rain will persist in these areas on Sunday:

  • Bicol
  • Calabarzon
  • Marinduque
  • Romblon

The National Capital Region-PAGASA Regional Services Division also issued a separate rainfall advisory at 11:28 am, saying that light to heavy rain was affecting Metro Manila and Bulacan, aside from Calabarzon.

Other parts of Central Luzon, including Tarlac, Bataan, Zambales, Pampanga, and Nueva Ecija, are expected to have light to moderate rain.
