MANILA. Cloudy skies and rains are expected to prevail across various parts of the country, according to the Saturday morning forecast from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In the next 24 hours, Batanes will experience overcast skies with rains brought by the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan). PAGASA warned residents to expect cooler temperatures and occasional downpours.
Meanwhile, the Central Luzon, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Cagayan Valley are likely to face cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms caused by the shear line.
For the rest of the country, localized thunderstorms are expected, especially in the afternoon and evening. PAGASA reminded the public to remain cautious as these thunderstorms may bring heavy rainfall over short periods.
PAGASA also issued a warning regarding strong to gale-force winds in extreme Northern Luzon, which could lead to rough sea conditions.
- Northern and Eastern Central Luzon: Moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters.
- Rest of the Country: Light to moderate winds with slight to moderate coastal waters.
Residents, particularly fisherfolk and small seacraft operators in affected areas, are advised to exercise caution.
The state weather bureau continues to monitor the situation closely. For further updates, stay tuned to PAGASA bulletins and advisories.
PAGASA encouraged everyone to keep their umbrellas and rain gear handy. “Mas mabuting maghanda para sa ulan, lalo na sa mga lugar na apektado ng shear line at localized thunderstorms,” it said in its advisory.
Stay safe and informed as the rainy season persists!
