MANILA, Philippines — Generally fair weather will prevail over the majority of the country, except in parts of Northern Luzon and Davao region on Friday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Inaasahan natin ang makulimlim na panahon na may mga kasamang mahihinang pagulan diyan sa Cagayan Valley dala pa rin ‘yan ng frontal system na bahagyang makakaapekto sa silangang bahagi ng hilagang Luzon,” said Pagasa weather specialist Raymond Ordinario.

(We are expecting cloudy weather with light rains there in Cagayan Valley still brought about by the frontal system that will slightly affect the eastern part of northern Luzon.)

“Ang nalalabing bahagi naman ng luzon ay magkakaroon ng maaliwalas na panahon bukas,” he added.

(The rest of Luzon will have fair weather tomorrow.)

Light rain, however, should still be expected in the remaining parts of Northern Luzon and Central Luzon, while isolated thunderstorms are possible in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

Overcast skies and scattered rain showers, meanwhile, are forecast in the Davao region, while the rest of Mindanao together with the entire Visayas will experience generally fair weather.

No storms or low pressure areas are also expected to enter the country’s area of responsibility within the next three days, said Ordinario.

Temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa for Friday:

• Metro Manila: 23 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Baguio City: 15 to 24 degrees Celsius
• Laoag City:  23 to 31 degrees Celsius
• Tuguegarao: 21 to 28 degrees Celsius
• Legazpi City: 24 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Puerto Princesa City: 25 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Tagaytay: 21 to 29 degrees Celsius
• Kalayaan Islands: 25 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Iloilo City: 23 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Cebu: 24 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Tacloban City: 23 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Cagayan De Oro City: 24 to 30 degrees Celsius

Gale warning is still raised in the seaboards of Northern Luzon, as well as in the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao due to the effects of the northeast monsoon and the shear line.
