“Wala po tayong namamataan na makakapal na kaulapan na posibleng pong magdulot ng buong araw na tuloy-tuloy na mga pag-ulan. So generally fair weather conditions po tayo from Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, gayundin sa Palawan, Visayas, at Mindanao,” Torres explained.

“Dahil naman po sa epekto ng northeast monsoon, magiging maulap din po ang kalangitan sa may area ng Batanes. Although ‘yung mga pag-ulan po na inaasahan natin sa may Batanes ay mahina o mga pag-ambon lamang,” the weather specialist emphasized.

Pagasa added that weather in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, and the rest of Cagayan Valley will still be influenced by the shear line or the convergence of cold northeast monsoons and warm easterlies from the Pacific Ocean.
“Dahil po sa epekto nitong shear line ay consistent po na meron po tayong namamataan na kumpol na kaulapan na nakakapekto sa may hilagang Luzon. So asahan po natin na ilang areas ng northern Luzon ay makakaranas ng maulan na panahon ngayong araw,” Torres said.
(Due to the effects of the shear line, we consistently observe cloud clusters affecting northern Luzon. As a result, several areas in northern Luzon can expect rainy weather throughout the day.)
