Mostly sunny Monday, but bring an umbrella

Two weather systems are affecting the country — the northeast monsoon and easterlies, the state weather bureau said Monday.

Cloudy skies with light rains are expected over Batanes and Babuyan Group of Islands due to the northeast monsoon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

The Ilocos Region, Cordillera and the rest of Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain.

The easterlies, or warm winds blowing from the east, will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms to the Bicol Region, the Eastern Visayas, and Quezon province.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain or thunderstorms.

Pagasa weather specialist Samuel Duran said no weather disturbance was affecting the country. /cbb
