MANILA, Philippines — Expect a cloudy, rainy Wednesday in pars of the Visayas and Mindanao due to the shear line while rain showers are likewise expected in Luzon due to the surge of the northeast monsoon or “amihan,” according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Sa kasalukuyan ay patuloy pa rin ang pag-iral ng pagbugso o surge ng northeast monsoon o amihan sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon. Dahil sa amihan na ito ay patuloy na umiiral ang ating shear line o ‘yung pagsasalubong ng amihan at easterlies,” Pagasa weather specialist Robb Gile said.

“’Yung pagsasalubong na ito ay nagdudulot ng mga makakapal na kaulapan na may dalang malakas na pag-ulan, at nakakaapekto ito sa malaking bahagi ng Visayas at northeastern portion of Mindanao,” he added.

(This convergence of winds causes clouds that bring heavy rain. This will affect a large portion of the Visayas and the northeastern portion of Mindanao.)
