MANILA, Philippines — The trough of the tropical storm outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) will affect parts of Visayas and Mindanao while Luzon will experience hot and humid weather on Thursday, according to the state weather bureau.
In the 5 a.m. weather forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration, weather specialist Leanne Loreto said that tropical storm Choi-Wan is not expected to enter the PAR. She added that it will not directly affect the country in the next two to three days.
“Itong trough ng tropical storm ang magdadala ng pagbabago sa ating panahon. Posibleng makaranas ng makulimlim na panahon na may kasamang pag-ulan pagkulog at pagkidlat para sa Eastern Visayas, Caraga, at Davao Oriental dulot ng trough,” Loreto said.
