Rain to continue in parts of PH – Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Overcast skies and rain will continue over the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas and parts of Mindanao on Thursday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Asahan po natin na dito sa bahagi ng Bicol Region magiging maulap pa rin ang mga kalangitan diyan bukas at may mga kalat kalat pa rin na pag ulan, pagkidlat at pagkulog dala pa rin ‘yan ng shear line,” said Pagasa weather specialist Ana Clauren.

(Expect cloudy skies in the Bicol Region tomorrow and scattered rain, lightning and thunder still brought about by the shear line.)

Calabarzon and Mimaropa, meanwhile, will experience relatively fairer weather but chances of thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon and evening, according to Clauren.

“Sa Metro Manila naman at sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon, patuloy nating asahan ang maaliwalas na panahon bukas at may posibilidad lamang ng isolated light rains o ‘yung mga pag-ambon,” she added.

(In Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, we continue to expect clear weather tomorrow and there is only the possibility of isolated light rains or showers.)

Eastern Visayas and Mindanao (specifically Caraga, Davao region and Soccsksargen) will also experience cloudy skies and scattered rain due to the shear line and the low-pressure area.

However, the rest of Visayas and Mindanao will have fairer weather with chances of localized thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.

The temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa for Wednesday:

Metro Manila: 22 to 31 degrees Celsius

Baguio City: 14 to 23 degrees Celsius

Laoag City:  21 to 30 degrees Celsius

Tuguegarao: 21 to 31 degrees Celsius
