MANILA, Philippines — The country is expected to have fair weather with occasional isolated rain showers on Monday after a series of typhoons in recent weeks, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said no low pressure is within or near the Philippine area of responsibility. Instead, the northeast monsoon is affecting the weather condition in northern Luzon.
“Ang nakakaapekto sa Northern Luzon ay northeast monsoon o amihan. Kaya asahan pa rin natin ang maganda at maaliwalas na panahon sa Luzon maliban lang po sa isolated na mahihinang pag-ulan sa Northern Luzon, samantalang sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon ay mga biglaang pagbuhos ng ulan dulot ng localized thunderstorms,” Aurelio said in a weather forecast issued by Pagasa at 4 a.m.
(The northeast monsoon is affecting the weather in northern Luzon. We can expect good and fair weather in Luzon, except for isolated light rains in Northern Luzon and isolated rain showers in the rest of Luzon due to localized thunderstorms.)
The northeast monsoon will specifically affect the Ilocos region, Cordillera Administrative Region and Cagayan Valley, according to Pagasa.
“Fair weather po tayo sa Visayas and Mindanao maliban lamang po sa biglaang pagbuhos ng ulan dahil sa thunderstorms,” he said.
(There will be fair weather in Visayas and Mindanao except for isolated rain showers due to thunderstorms.)
