MANILA, Philippines – Classes have been suspended in several areas today, September 18, 2019 (Wednesday) due to inclement weather either brought by the southwest monsoon or hanging habagat, low pressure area, or the trough of Tropical Depression Nimfa.

Between Tuesday and Wednesday evening, frequent light to moderate rains with occasional heavy rain showers during thunderstorms will be experienced over Central Luzon, Batangas, Cavite, Occidental Mindoro, and northern portions of Palawan including Calamian and Cuyo Islands.
Residents of the aforementioned areas, especially those living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to floods and rain-induced landslides, are advised to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates, especially the Thunderstorm or Rainfall Advisories and Heavy Rainfall Warnings to be issued by PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.
Cloudy skies with scattered light to moderate rains and intermittent heavy rainshowers during thunderstorms will prevail of Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, and Western Visayas.
PAGASA added that the Low Pressure Area (LPA), estimated in the vicinity of Mayantoc, Tarlac, may cross over Central Luzon and may eventually dissipate within the circulation of "Nimfa".
