MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that no typhoon is expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility in the next few days.

However, cloudy skies and rains may be experienced in different parts of the country due to the northeasterly wind flow and localized thunderstorms.

For Friday, Pagasa’s weathercast said the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Aurora may see overcast skies with rains caused by the northeasterly wind flow.

It also said that Metro Manila and the rest of the country would have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

“Base naman sa ating latest satellite animation, wala tayong bagyo na inaasahang papasok ng ating Philippine area of responsibility sa mga susunod na araw,” said Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja.
