“Inaasahan natin na sa may bahagi ng Bicol Region pati na rin sa ibang parte ng Mimaropa, magpapatuloy ang maulap na kalangitan na may mga kalat kalat na pagulan, pagkidlat at pagkulog,” said Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres.
(We expect that in parts of the Bicol Region as well as in other parts of Mimaropa, cloudy skies will continue with scattered showers, lightning, and thunderstorm.)
