Pagasa sees generally fair weather on Christmas

As Filipinos prepare to celebrate Christmas and the upcoming long weekend, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) assured the public that the country would be free from any weather disturbance.

Pagasa’s weather specialist Benison Estareja said there was a low likelihood of a tropical depression forming before the end of the year.

From Dec. 22 to Dec. 27, Pagasa predicted mostly cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in the eastern section of Luzon, due to the shear line.

The rest of Northern and Central Luzon, along with the rest of Calabarzon and Metro Manila, will experience mostly cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon.
