Habagat to bring clouds over Luzon; Visayas, Mindanao to be hot, humid
MANILA, Philippines — Luzon is expected to have cloudy and rainy weather while the Visayas and Mindanao are expected to be hot and humid on Monday due to the effects of the southwest monsoon or habagat, the state weather service said Sunday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), in its latest report, also reported that a low-pressure area was spotted 1,285 kilometers at the east-northeast of Northern Luzon.
The LPA, said Pagasa, will have no effect on the country’s weather condition and is not projected to develop into a typhoon.
“Isang low pressure area ang namataan kaninang alas tres ng hapon, wala itong direktang epekto sa ating bansa at maliit ang tiyansang maging bagyo,” senior weather specialist Chris Perez said.
(A low pressure area was spotted around 3:00 p.m., but it has no direct effect on the weather in the country, and there is a small chance of it becoming a typhoon.)
“Bukas inaasahan pa din ang epekto ng habagat sa kanlurang bahagi ng Luzon, habang sa Metro Manila at natitirang bahagi ng Luzon ay patuloy ang maulap at maulap at tiyansa ng isolated thunderstorm,” Perez said.
(Tomorrow, the southwest monsoon will continue to affect the western part of Luzon, while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have cloudy weather with chances of isolated thunderstorms.)
“Sa buong Visayas at Mindanao naman, ashaan ang generally mainit at maalinsanganag panahon. Kung magkaroon man ng pag-ulan sa dakong hapon o gabi ay dulot lamang ng mga localized thunderstorm,” he added.
(In Visayas and Mindanao, expect generally hot and humid weather. Rain in the afternoon or night will be due to localized thunderstorms.)
In Luzon, Metro Manila projected to have temperatures ranging from 26 to 32 degrees Celsius; Tagaytay City at 22 to 30 degrees Celsius; Baguio City at 16 to 24 degrees Celsius; Laoag City at 24 to 31 degrees Celsius; Legazpi City at 26 to 33 degrees Celsius; Tuguegarao City at 25 to 37 degrees Celsius; and Puerto Princesa City, with 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.
In the Visayas, Cebu is projected to have temperatures ranging from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius; Iloilo, 25 to 33 degrees Celsius; and Tacloban at 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.
In Mindanao, Zamboanga City will have 24 to 34 degrees Celsius; Cagayan de Oro, 24 to 33 degrees Celsius; and 25 to 33 degrees Celsius in Davao City.
No gale warning has been raised with the western and northern part of the country expected to have moderate to rough sea conditions. The eastern part meanwhile is projected to have a moderate sea condition. The southern part of the country will have a slight to moderate sea condition, Pagasa said.
