Break from rains: Cagayan and Isabela to see sunny weather Friday, Aug 11 – Pagasa
MANILA, Philippines — Cagayan and Isabela would experience a pause from rain showers as sunny weather is predicted to prevail in the two provinces on Friday, August 11, the state weather bureau said.
The two provinces were pelted recently by rains for days caused by two typhoons.
Based on the early morning forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the southwest monsoon will bring isolated rain showers and thunderstorms in Metro Manila and parts of Luzon while the Ilocos Region and the western Cordillera Region will have isolated thunderstorms.
“Asahan natin ang maulap at nagiging maulap na as early as morning, dahil may chance na ng isolated rain showers or thunderstorms na epekto rin ng southwest monsoon,” state weather specialist Benison Estareja explained.

The LPA and southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, are anticipated cause rains throughout Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, Pagasa added.
