MANILA – Two weather disturbances could possibly affect the country this week, a Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster said Monday.

"The tropical cyclone with international name 'Hinnamnor' outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) is currently too far. However, it could enter PAR by Wednesday or Thursday," Aldczar Aurelio of PAGASA said.

He added that PAGASA is also monitoring cloud clusters that may develop into a low pressure area (LPA) this week. Once it develops into LPA, it is forecast to affect the country, especially the Northern Luzon area.

Meanwhile, Aurelio said the ridge of high pressure area currently affecting the country will cause fair weather.

A fair and warm weather will prevail across the archipelago.

Isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms may still be experienced, especially in the afternoon or evening, Aurelio said.

Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail over the entire country. (PNA)
