Rainy Wednesday in north, Central Luzon, Bicol and E. Visayas – Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Cloudy skies with rain will prevail over north and Central Luzon as well as the Bicol region and Eastern Visayas on Wednesday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

Pagasa weather specialist Meno Mendoza said the prevailing northeast monsoon, locally known as the “amihan,” will cause the rainy weather in north and Central Luzon.

Meanwhile, the shear line will likewise cause the same weather conditions in the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas.

“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon magiging maaliwalas ang panahon kasama ang Metro Manila pero posible pa rin ang panandaliang buhos ng ulan dulot ng localized thunderstorms,” said Mendoza.

(In the rest of Luzon, the weather will be clearer, including Metro Manila but short-term rains due to localized thunderstorms are still possible.)

The rest of the Visayas and the entire Mindanao will also experience generally fair weather, but localized thunderstorms should still be expected, especially in the afternoon and evening.

Below are the temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa for Wednesday:

Metro Manila: 24 to 31 degrees Celsius

Baguio City: 16 to 25 degrees Celsius

Laoag City:  23 to 31 degrees Celsius

Tuguegarao: 22 to 30 degrees Celsius

Legazpi City: 26 to 31 degrees Celsius

Puerto Princesa City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius

Tagaytay: 22 to 30 degrees Celsius

Kalayaan Islands: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Iloilo City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Cebu: 25 to 31 degrees Celsius

Tacloban City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Cagayan De Oro City: 24 to 31 degrees Celsius

Zamboanga City: 24 to 34 degrees Celsius

Davao City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Meanwhile gale warning remains raised in the seaboards of Northern Luson specifically in the Batanes, Cagayan, Northern Caast of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos SUr, La Union, Pangasinan, and the Western Coast of Ilocos Northe, due to the presence of “amihan,”

“Malalaki ang alon sa mga nabanggit lugar kaya’t pinapayuhan ang mga mangingisda na huwag pumalaot sa nasabing mga baybaying dagat,” warned Mendoza.

(The waves are big in the mentioned areas, so fishermen are advised not to sail in the said seas.)
