MANILA, Philippines — The country is expected to have fair and clear weather this Saturday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported in their morning weather forecast.
According to the weather bulletin of Pagasa, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will most likely have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers.
“Sa lagay ng panahon ngayong araw, maganda at maaliwalas na panahon ang inaasahan po natin sa Luzon, at ganoon din po sa Visayas at sa Mindanao,” weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said.
(With our weather conditions right now, good and fair weather is expected in Luzon, as well as in Visayas and Mindanao.)
“May tiyansa pa rin po ang mga isolated na mga pag-ulan dulot ng thunderstorm sa bandang hapon o gabi,” he reminded.
(There are still chances of isolated rains due to thunderstorms at noon or evening.)
Along with the thunderstorms, Aurelio added that the southwest monsoon also persists in western section of Northern and Central Luzon.
Pagasa shared that the Typhoon Jenny, which is now outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), enhances this southwest monsoon.
Meanwhile, the low pressure area (LPA) that the weather bureau is monitoring remains outside the PAR. It was last seen 1,310 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.

The LPA was reported to be less likely to develop into a tropical depression within the day.
“Within 24 hours, mababa ang tiyansa na maging bagyo itong low pressure area na nasa labas ng PAR,” Aurelio noted.
(Within 24 hours, the chance of this low pressure area becoming a typhoon is low.)
No gale warning is raised in the coastal waters of the country, Pagasa said.
