MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported in its 4 a.m. bulletin on Friday that a shear line impacting the eastern part of Southern Luzon, combined with easterlies affecting Visayas and Mindanao, is anticipated to result in scattered or isolated rain showers across most regions of the country.
According to PAGASA, these weather systems will usher in cloudy skies accompanied by scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in areas including Aurora, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Bicol Region, Aklan, Capiz, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.
Simultaneously, the northeast monsoon is expected to bring cloudy skies with light rains to the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan including the Babuyan Islands, Isabela, and Quirino. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are predicted over the Ilocos Region and the remaining areas of Cagayan Valley.
For Metro Manila and other parts of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are forecast due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA indicated that Luzon will experience moderate to rough winds and moderate to rough coastal waters, while the Visayas and Mindanao will encounter light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
Temperature ranges for the day include 23°C to 32°C in Metro Manila, 16°C to 25°C in Baguio City, 23°C to 31°C in Laoag City, 26°C to 32°C in Legazpi City, 26°C to 30°C in Metro Cebu, 25°C to 32°C in Puerto Princesa City, and 26°C to 33°C in Metro Davao.
