MANILA, Philippines — Rain and overcast skies will persist over most of the country on Friday due to three different weather systems, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Para sa lagay ng ating panahon bukas, inaasahan nga natin na posible sa may Extreme Northern Luzon, Cordillera Administrative Region ang epekto ng northeast monsoon ‘yung mauulap na papawirin at may mga pagulan,” Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres said on Thursday.
