MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported Wednesday (13 March 2024) that three weather systems are set to influence the country’s weather pattern, resulting in cloudy conditions with isolated rainfall in various regions.
According to PAGASA, a shear line, the northeast monsoon or “amihan,” and the easterlies will contribute to the prevailing weather conditions.
The shear line is expected to induce cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Isabela, Quirino, Aurora, and the northern portion of Quezon.
Meanwhile, the Cordillera Region and the rest of Cagayan Valley will experience cloudy skies with light rains attributed to the northeast monsoon.
The “amihan” will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos Regions and the rest of Central Luzon.
Conversely, the remaining parts of the country, including Metro Manila, will encounter partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected over Luzon, the Visayas, and the eastern sections of Mindanao. The rest of Mindanao will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
Temperature forecasts for key areas include Metro Manila, ranging from 25°C to 32°C; Baguio City, 15°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 22°C to 31°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 31°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 31°C; Puerto Princesa City, 24°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 24°C to 32°C.
