Today (02 May), the Low Pressure Area (LPA) is expected to bring cloudy skies with rains and thunderstorms over Bicol Region, Eastern and Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and Davao Region. Meanwhile, Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will likely cause scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over the rest of Visayas and the rest of Mindanao. Elsewhere in the country, isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms are still possible.
Tomorrow until Monday (03 - 05 May), light to moderate with occasionally heavy rains are still likely over Bicol Region, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Caraga as the LPA traverses Visayas And Palawan. The rest of Mindanao will be cloudy with rainshowers and thunderstorms due to ITCZ. Isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms will continue over the rest of Luzon.

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
LPA, ITCZ, EASTERLIES, AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
- Regularly inspect crops for signs of pests and diseases to quickly address any outbreaks.
- Adjust the frequency of irrigation based on weather conditions, soil type, and crop needs.
- Ensure that irrigation is consistent, especially during dry periods, to maintain healthy plant growth.
- Regularly inspect and clean drainage channels to prevent blockages caused by debris, soil, or other obstructions.
