MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said generally fair weather conditions would continue for most areas of the country even if there are chances of isolated rains or localized thunderstorms on Saturday.

Weather specialist Daniel James Villamil likewise said during Saturday’s early morning public report of Pagasa that parts of Mindanao will experience overcast skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms this April 6 due to the easterlies.

“Banayad hanggang sa katamtamang alon ang inaasahan sa malaking bahagi ng ating bansa ngunit ibayong pag-iingat sa ating mga kababayan na maglalayag sapagkat mayroon tayong mga offshore thunderstorm activity, ito ‘yung mga pag-ulan sa ating mga dagat baybayin,” the Pagasa expert said.

(Light to moderate waves are expected in a large part of our country, but our compatriots who will sail must still be careful because we have offshore thunderstorm activity, these are the rains in our coastal seas.)

“Asahan natin ang bahagyang paglakas ng mga hangin kaakibat nito ang bahagyang pagtaas din ng ating mga alon,” he added.
