Pagasa: Wind convergence to bring cloudy skies, scattered rain over Mindanao  

MANILA, Philippines — Mindanao will have cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms due to the convergence of the northwesterly and southwesterly winds, the state weather bureau said Saturday.

In its 4 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) also said Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, Pagasa said Super Typhoon Hagibis is slowly drifting away from the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), as it was last spotted at 1,895 kilometers northeast of extreme northern Luzon.

Hagibis is expected to bring heavy rains and damaging winds over Japan. /muf
