‘Improved’ weather in parts of Luzon; humid Monday for Visayas, Mindanao
MANILA, Philippines — Weather conditions in Metro Manila and in some parts of Luzon will be “generally improving” on Monday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Sunday night.
According to Pagasa weather specialist Chris Perez, the northeast monsoon will still affect the eastern portion of Luzon.
“Bukas, inaasahan pa rin ang epekto ng amihan sa mga lalawigan sa silangang bahagi ng Luzon. Posible rin ang shear line ay makaapekto rin sa ilang bahagi ng Bicol Region. Kaya pinapayuhan natin ang mga kababayan natin sa silangang bahagi ng Luzon na maging alerto sa mga posibleng pagbaha at pagguho ng lupa,” he said in a weather forecast.
(The effects of the northeast monsoon are still expected in the eastern section of Luzon. The shear line may also affect some parts of the Bicol Region. We are advising people living in the eastern section of Luzon to be alert for possible flash floods and landslides.)
Perez advised residents in these areas to monitor heavy rainfall and thunderstorm advisories.
“Bukas, sa Kalayaan Islands, maulap pa rin na may pag-ulan, pagkidlat at pagkulog, habang sa Metro Manila at natitirang bahagi ng Luzon, generally improving ang weather maliban sa ilang pulo-pulong mahinang pag-ulan,” he added
(In the Kalayaan Islands, there will be rains and thunderstorms, while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, will have generally improving weather except for isolated rain showers.)
The entire Visayas and Mindanao will experience hot and humid weather, according to Perez. He said that even if it rains in the two regions, it will only be caused by localized thunderstorms that are most likely to occur in the afternoon and evening.
