Overcast skies, rain to persist in most parts of PH on Saturday, Dec. 28

MANILA, Philippines — Overcast skies and rain will persist over several parts of the country on Saturday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Asahan pa rin natin makakaranas tayo sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon ng bahagya hanggang sa maulap na papawirin na may isolated rain showers or isolated light rain,” said Pagasa weather specialist Chenel Dominguez

(We can still expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or light rain in a large part of Luzon.)

“Patuloy rin na makakaapekto ang intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) sa Bicol Region, kaya asahan pa rin ang pagulan,” she added.

(The ITCZ will continue to affect the Bicol Region, so rainfall is still expected.)

The ITCZ will likewise bring rain over Palawan, Eastern Visayas, and the entire Mindanao.

No typhoons or low pressure areas, meanwhile, are currently being monitored within and outside the Philippine area of responsibility.

Pagasa said the temperature range in key cities or areas across the country for Saturday will be:

• Metro Manila: 15 to 31 degrees Celsius
