Moderate to heavy rain showers accompanied by lightning and strong winds are expected to affect several towns in Zambales within the next two hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Tuesday afternoon.
In an advisory issued at 2:20 p.m., Pagasa said the affected areas include Masinloc, Palauig, Iba, Botolan, Cabangan, San Felipe, San Marcelino, San Antonio, San Narciso, and Castillejos.
The state weather bureau warned residents of possible flash floods and landslides due to thunderstorms, particularly in low-lying and mountainous areas.
Paagsa earlier said there is no active tropical cyclone inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. The weather disturbance formerly named “Caloy” has weakened into a low-pressure area and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical depression.
