MANILA — State weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) predicts a weather forecast for Saturday in the Philippines with a range of conditions across the country.
Most areas can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers. However, certain regions will experience cloudier conditions with scattered rain due to a shear line and the presence of a low-pressure area (LPA).
According to the 4 a.m. weather bulletin from the PAGASA, the shear line affecting the northern part of Northern Luzon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Batanes, Cagayan, and the Babuyan Islands.
In addition, Eastern Visayas and Caraga will also experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the LPA’s trough.
PAGASA has issued a warning that moderate to heavy rains may lead to flash floods or landslides in these areas.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, primarily caused by localized thunderstorms.
The weather bureau also advises that severe thunderstorms in any area may result in flash floods or landslides.
In terms of wind and sea conditions, Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters, while the rest of the Philippines will have light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas.
Here are the temperature ranges for some key locations:
Metro Manila: 24°C to 32°C
Baguio City: 17°C to 24°C
Laoag City: 24°C to 32°C
Legazpi City: 25°C to 32°C
Metro Cebu: 26°C to 32°C
Puerto Princesa City: 25°C to 32°C
Metro Davao: 25°C to 33°C
