MANILA, Philippines — Most of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains or rain showers on Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

According to Pagasa’s forecast, only Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms on Wednesday due to the shear line, or the convergence of winds from amihan and the easterlies.

“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon kasama ang Metro Manila, asahan ang bahagyang maulap hanggang sa maulap na papawirin at may tsansa na magpakita ang sikat ang araw. Asahan din ang isolated na mahihinang pag-ulan. Asahan din ang malamig na simoy na hangin lalo na sa gabi at madaling araw,” Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in a weather forecast.

(For the rest of Luzon including Metro Manila, we can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Also expect isolated light rains and cold breezes especially in the evening and midnight.)

“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Visayas kasama na rin ang buong Mindanao, maganda at maaliwalas na panahon ang inaasahan natin ngayong araw dahil sa magiging bahagyang maulap hanggang maulap ang kalangitan, maliban sa isolated na mahihinang pag-ulan. Isolated ang pag-ulan dulot ng localized thunderstorms sa Mindanao,” he added.

(For the rest of Visayas and Mindanao, there will be fair weather with partly cloudy to cloudy skies, except for isolated light rains. There will also be isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms in Mindanao.

Aurelio said Pagasa is currently not monitoring a low pressure area within or near the Philippine area of responsibility.
