Fair, warm Tuesday forecast in most parts of PH
MANILA, Philippines — Fair, warm weather is forecast in most parts of the country while the southwest monsoon or “habagat” will affect the western part of Luzon on Tuesday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
Pagasa weather specialist Rhea Torres said overcast skies and rain showers are expected in the Ilocos region and Zambales. Warm weather is also expected in the rest of the country as cloud clusters are not found.
“Makikita pa din natin na patuloy pa din ang epekto ng southwest monsoon o hanging habagat lalong-lalo na dito sa may bahagi ng kanlurang Luzon kaya asahan pa din natin ang makulimlim na panahon na may kasamang kalat-kalat na pag-ulan lalong-lalo na po sa may bahagi ng Ilocos Region at Zambales,” Torres said in a public weather forecast.
(The southwest monsoon or habagat will affect parts of western Luzon, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers are expected in parts of Ilocos region and Zambales.)
“Samantalang sa nalalabing bahagi ng ating bansa makikita po natin na wala tayong namamataan na makakapal na kaulapan na posibleng magdulot ng buong araw na pag-ulan kaya asahan po natin ang mainit na panahon at may mga tiyansa din ng isolated rain showers and thunderstorms,” she added.
(For the rest of the country, we are not monitoring thick cloud clusters that could cause rains all day so warm weather is expected, but with possible isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.)
LPA moving out
Torres said the low-pressure area (LPA) being monitored by Pagasa is about to exit the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).
The LPA was last spotted some 480 kilometers north – northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
“Nasa boundary na po sya ng ating Philippine area of responsibility, kaya sa mga susunod na oras inaasahan po natin na lalabas na siya ng PAR,” Torres said.
(It is near the boundary of the Philippine area of responsibility, and is expected to exit PAR in the next few hours.)
Pagasa did not raise a gale warning in the country’s seaboards nationwide.
