MANILA, Philippines — Some areas in Northern Luzon are expected to see rain on Tuesday, December 6, due to the shear line, as generally fair weather may possibly prevail over the rest of the country.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its 5 p.m. weather bulletin on Monday that Batanes and Cagayan will experience rain due to the shear line anticipated to bring overcast skies, as well as scattered rain with thunder and lightning.
As for Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, good weather continues despite partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
“Dito sa bandang Batanes pati na rin sa Cagayan, asahan natin dahil sa posibleng epekto ng shear line maari tayong makaranas diyan ng maulap na kalangitan na may kalat-kalat na pagulan, pagkidlat at pagkulog,” said Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres.
(Here in Batanes and Cagayan, let’s expect that due to the possible effect of the shear line, we may experience cloudy skies with scattered showers, lightning, and thunder.)
“Pero dito sa Metro Manila at nalalabing bahagi ng [Luzon], asahan na magpapatuloy itong magandang panahon – partly cloudy to cloudy skies na may mga isolated rain showers or thunderstorms lamang,” she added.
(But here in Metro Manila and the rest of [Luzon], expect good weather to continue – just partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.)
