As we approach the weekend, an upper-level low pressure system off the east coast of the Philippines is introducing instability to the region. This system is bringing scattered showers and afternoon thunderstorms, particularly affecting the Visayas and Luzon areas.

Despite its presence, this low-pressure system remains mostly at the upper levels of the atmosphere and is unlikely to develop into an organized surface low. Therefore, the chances of it intensifying into a more significant weather system are minimal.
Residents can expect local heavy rainfall, with some areas experiencing showers ranging from 30 to 50mm. This unsettled weather pattern will continue to dominate, bringing intermittent downpours and thunderstorms.
Looking ahead, the long-range forecast shows little to no development of significant weather systems. Current guidance remains weak, suggesting that this pattern will persist through mid-July.
