MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Wednesday that it is monitoring cloud clusters outside of the Philippine area of responsibility.
According to state weather specialist Obet Badrina, these cloud clusters still have a low chance of developing into a typhoon, but the agency will still monitor them in the coming days.
“Mayroong mga kaulapan tayong namamataan dito sa may silangang bahagi, sa labas ng PAR, mga cloud cluster ito na sa ngayon ay maliit pa naman ang tyansa na maging bagyo pero patuloy pa rin nating imo-monitor sa mga susunod na araw,” Badrina said.
(There are clouds that we are monitoring here on the eastern side, outside of the PAR. These are cloud clusters that, for now, have a small chance of becoming a typhoon, but we will continue to monitor them in the next few days.)
Pagasa said that the shear line, or convergence of cool and warm winds, will continue to bring rains over the eastern parts of northern and central Luzon.

“Posibleng medyo malaki pa rin ‘yung tiyansa ng mga pag-ulan dito sa may bahagi ng Aurora, Isabela, Cagayan, at gayon din sa may northern Quezon,” said Badrina.
(It is possible that there is still a relatively high chance of rain here in parts of Aurora, Isabela, Cagayan, and also in northern Quezon.)
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan, will bring light rains over northern Luzon, particularly in Batanes, the Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Cagayan Valley.
The rest of the country, on the other hand, may expect generally fair weather conditions with chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms.
No gale warning alert is raised in any parts of the country’s seaboards, said Badrina.
