MANILA, Philippines — Overcast skies and isolated rain showers are expected in parts of Southern Luzon and the entire Visayas, while generally fair and sunny weather will prevail over the rest of the country on Monday, the state weather bureau said.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), enhanced habagat continues to affect most parts of the Bicol Region, Northern Palawan, and Visayas.

“Bukas patuloy pa rin ang epekto ng habagat sa malaking bahagi ng bansa kaya sa Bicol region at Northern portion pa rin ng Palawan ay patuloy pa rin na magiging maulap ang kalangitan na tsansa ng kalat kalat na pagulan at thunderstorms,” weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in an afternoon forecast.

(Tomorrow, the effects of the southwest monsoon will continue in a large part of the country, so in the Bicol region and the Northern portion of Palawan, the sky will be cloudy with a chance of scattered rain and thunderstorms.)

“Samantala sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon asahan po natin bukas na magiging maganda at maaliwalas ang panahon maaraw pero may chansa ng biglang buhos na ulan. Sa Mindanao ay fair weather po tayo kung saan bahagyang maulap hanggang sa maulap ang papawirin maliban lang po sa mga isolated na pag ulan,” he added.

(Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will experience warm and sunny weather with chances of sudden downpours. In Mindanao, fair weather will also occur with partly cloudy to cloudy skies and isolated rain showers.)

Aurelio said that Pagasa had not monitored any weather disturbance inside or outside the country’s area of responsibility.
