MANILA, Philippines — Most of the country will experience a generally fair this Wednesday, Aug. 14, despite the continued dominance of the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said cloudy skies with rains may still be expected in some parts of Luzon due to the southwest monsoon.
According to Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina: “Sa ngayon, itong southwest monsoon ang nakakaapekto sa kanlurang bahagi ng Northern and Central Luzon at ito ay magdadala nga ng maulap na kalangitan na may mas malaking tiyansa ng pag-ulan partikular sa Ilocos Region at sa area ng Batanes at Babuyan Islands.”
(Currently, the southwest monsoon affects the western section of Northern and Central Luzon, bringing overcast skies and increased rain chances, particularly in the Ilocos Region and Batanes and Babuyan Islands.)
