Metro Manila, Visayas, Mindanao likely to experience rains, thunderstorms

MANILA, Philippines — Residents of Metro Manila and the entire Visayas and Mindanao are expected to see cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms on Saturday, according to the state weather bureau.

“Sa Metro Manila, nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon…[at] sa buong bahagi ng Visayas at Mindanao, asahan din po natin na magiging bahagyang maulap hanggang maulap ‘yung kalangitan at ‘yung mga tsansa ng pulo pulong pag-ulan, pagkulob at pagkidlat dulot po iyan ng localized thunderstorms,” Grace Castaneda, a weather specialist from Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in a 4 a.m. advisory.

(In Metro Manila, several parts of Luzon…and the entire area of Visayas and Mindanao, we can expect there to be partly cloudy to cloudy skies, and there is a chance of isolated rain showers and lightning caused by localized thunderstorms.)

Meanwhile, the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and in Central Luzon stand to experience generally fair weather on Saturday — with a chance of  partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains — despite the presence of the northeast monsoon or amihan.
