MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon, locally known as the “amihan,” is expected to continue overcast skies and rain over several parts of Luzon on Sunday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa.)

“Malaking bahagi [ng Luzon], lalo na sa eastern section, Bicol Region, Quezon, Cagayan Valley, Aurora at Ilocos Norte ay makakaranas ng mauulap na kalangitan na may mahinang pag-ulan dulot ng northeast monsoon,” said Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina.

(Several parts of Luzon, especially the eastern section, Bicol Region, Quezon, Cagayan Valley, Aurora and Ilocos Norte will experience cloudy skies with light rains caused by the northeast monsoon.)

“Samantala sa ka-Maynilaan at gayundin sa western section ng Luzon, kasama ang Southern Luzon ay makakaranas ng maaliwalas na panahon pero may tiyansa pa rin ng mahihinang pagulan,” he added.

(Meanwhile in Manila and also in the western section of Luzon, and Southern Luzon fair weather with chances of light rains should be expected.)

Generally fair weather is then expected over the entire Visayas and Mindanao with chances of rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
