Pagasa: Fair weather in most parts of PH this week; cool in some Luzon areas

MANILA, Philippines – Generally fair weather is expected in most parts of the country this week,  while cooler conditions will prevail  in some areas in Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).  

“Wala pa rin tayong inaasahan na magiging bagyo sa mga susunod na araw, wala pa tayong minomonitor na low pressure area sa loob o labas man ng Philippine area of responsibility,”  Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said in an early Monday morning update.

(No weather disturbance is being monitored in and around the Philippine area of responsibility.)

“Kaya ho sa ating mga kababayan, ngayong linggo, generally fair weather po sa malaking bahagi ng ating bansa maliban sa silangang bahagi ng Luzon at Visayas,” he added.

(Hence, this week, generally fair weather is forecast in most parts of the country except in the eastern section of Luzon and Visayas.)

Pagasa said the shear line or  the weather system when cold and warm winds converge, along with the northeast monsoon or “amihan” will bring overcast skies with rain to the Bicol region and Eastern Visayas on Monday.

Cloudy skies with rain are expected in Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Aurora, and Quezon due to the northeast monsoon or the cold winds blowing from Siberia.

“Sa Baguio, medyo malamig pa rin ho ’no sa pag-iral ng northeast monsoon, 12 to 22 degrees Celsius,” Badrina said.

(In Baguio, it is still quite cold because of the prevailing northeast monsoon, 12 to 22 degrees Celsius.)
