Elsewhere in the country, isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms are still likely.
From Sunday until Monday (27-28 April), a possible Low Pressure Area (LPA) may develop outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), southeast of Mindanao. The LPA is expected to enter the PAR by Tuesday and is embedded within the ITCZ, bringing scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over Visayas and Mindanao. Elsewhere, isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms remain likely.

- Regularly inspect crops for signs of pests and diseases to quickly address any outbreaks.
- Adjust the frequency of irrigation based on weather conditions, soil type, and crop needs.
- Ensure that irrigation is consistent, especially during dry periods, to maintain healthy plant growth.
- Regularly inspect and clean drainage channels to prevent blockages caused by debris, soil, or other obstructions.
