THE Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) is monitoring two low-pressure areas (LPAs), but neither is expected to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
In its weather bulletin on Thursday, July 30, Pagasa said one LPA was located off the coast of Nasugbu, Batangas. The weather disturbance is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains over the Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, Calabarzon and Metro Manila before likely dissipating within the next 24 hours.
Another LPA was spotted outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), about 1,615 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas as of 3 a.m. Thursday, July 30, 2026.
Pagasa said most parts of the Visayas and Mindanao will continue to experience generally fair weather, although localized thunderstorms and isolated rain showers remain possible.
The state weather bureau also said no gale warnings have been issued over the Visayas and the rest of the country.
Despite the favorable outlook, Pagasa urges residents, particularly those in flood-prone areas, to remain alert and monitor weather advisories as conditions may change.
The advisory comes after several days of continuous rainfall triggered flooding on roads and low-lying areas in Cebu.
The Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office likewise encourages residents to monitor daily weather bulletins and take necessary precautions to minimize risks from possible adverse weather.
Since January 2026, Pagasa has recorded a total of 11 tropical cyclones that have entered PAR. / ANV
