Cloudy conditions and scattered rain showers are expected to cover a significant portion of Luzon, as reported by the weather bureau on Saturday. This weather pattern is attributed to the influence of the northeast monsoon in Northern Luzon and the presence of a shear line affecting Central Luzon.
According to the 4 a.m. weather bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the following conditions are anticipated:
In Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Apayao, and Kalinga, cloudy skies with light rains are anticipated due to the northeast monsoon.
The Ilocos Region, Cordillera region, and Cagayan Valley are expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.
Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon will encounter cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line.
The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, primarily due to localized thunderstorms, according to PAGASA.
In terms of wind and sea conditions, Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds, with moderate to rough seas. The rest of the country will have light to moderate winds, with seas ranging from slight to moderate.
The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 25°C to 29°C; Baguio City, 17°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 24°C to 33°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 32°C; Puerto Princesa City, 26°C to 31°C; and Metro Davao, 26°C to 33°C.
