“Ngayon po ay wala tayong mino-monitor na low pressure area o bagyo sa loob at labas ng Philippine area of responsibility, and in the next two to three days ay wala rin taying nakikitang sama ng panahon na makaka-apekto sa alin mang bahagi ng ating bansa,” Torres said.

(No LPA or storm is being monitored in and around PAR, and in the next two to three days, we do not see any weather disturbance which will affect any part of the country.)

Fair Sunday

Meanwhile, generally fair weather with possible isolated rain showers are expected on Sunday.

“Maaliwalas na panahon pa rin ang maasahan natin bukas at sa darating na mga araw at makakaranas pa rin tayo ng mga isolated  thunderstorms, kaya kung lalabas ng mga tahanan ay magdala po tayo ng payong,” Torres said.

(Fair weather is expected on Sunday with isolated thunderstorms and rain showers, hence, keep an umbrella handy.)

“Sa Visayas at Mindanao, magiging maaliwalas pa rin ang panahon mula umaga hanggang tanghali, ngunit may tiyansa pa rin ng mga isolated thunderstorms sa hapon at gabi,” added Torres.
