Heads up, Palawenyos! The sky is getting ready to put on a dazzling show, courtesy of PAGASA’s Thunderstorm Advisory No. 5. You might want to grab that cozy blanket or warm cup of coffee, as northern Palawan prepares for some serious thunder, lightning, and maybe a sprinkle of drama. But don’t worry—it’s all part of nature’s grand plan to water those tropical greens.

PAGASA has issued this thunderstorm advisory for areas including Taytay, Dumaran, Araceli, San Vicente, Roxas, and even parts of Culion, Linapacan, and El Nido. Feeling adventurous? Well, hold your horses, because it looks like the skies will be providing more action than your weekend hike. Expect moderate to heavy rainfall, accompanied by the occasional loud thunderclap, bright lightning flashes, and gusty winds that could last for one to two hours. You might just want to sit back and watch it from your window.

Puerto Princesa’s Own Little Shower

Puerto Princesa City, your time to shine—or rather, drip—has arrived! It’s not only the northern parts of Palawan getting in on the rain. The city itself has also been seeing its fair share of drizzle and cool, overcast weather. Perfect for a lazy day indoors, don’t you think?

Don’t Worry, It’s Not THAT Stormy… Yet

And for those holding your breath about the latest weather updates, here’s some good news: that pesky Low Pressure Area (LPA 10a) you’ve heard about is unlikely to become a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. As of 8 AM today, it’s still hanging around, but it’s not ready to make any grand moves just yet. Phew!

But don’t go hanging your raincoats just yet—this is the time of year when the skies can shift at the drop of a hat. So, keep an eye out for updates from PAGASA, and if you’re in the affected areas, don’t forget your umbrellas, Palawan style!
