The state weather bureau is monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), but it said the weather disturbance is still too far to affect any part of the country.

In its advisory on Saturday morning, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the LPA was spotted at 1,280 kilometers east of Baler in Aurora province.

However, Pagasa advised the general public and disaster risk reduction and management councils to monitor the next update to be incorporated in the public weather forecast at 5:00 p.m. Saturday and the next weather advisory to be issued at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Pagasa earlier said fair weather will prevail over the weekend. CDG
