Widespread rain over Northern Luzon; hot, humid rest of PH — Pagasa
MANILA, Philippines — Widespread rain is forecast in the northern parts of Luzon on Monday due to the shear line, while the other parts of the country will have warm and humid weather, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Dito po sa Luzon, makakaranas pa rin ng kalat kalat na pagulan na may pagkidlat at pagkulog dahil po sa shear line itong Cagayan Valley region, gayundin po ang Ilocos Norte,” said Pagasa weather specialist Samuel Duran.
(Luzon, the Cagayan Valley region, as well as Ilocos Norte, will still experience widespread rain with lightning and thunder due to the shear line.)
“Nalalabing bahagi naman po ng Luzon ay patuloy pa rin pong makakaranas ng mainit at maalinsangang panahon, dulot pa rin ng tinatawag nating easterlies,” he added.
(The rest of Luzon will continue to experience hot and humid weather, still caused by the easterlies.)
The easterlies will also bring the same hot and humid weather conditions over the entire Mindanao and Visayas.
Meanwhile, Duran said Pagasa is currently monitoring a low pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), 1,210 kilometers of Visayas. It has no direct effects on the country yet, but it is expected to enter PAR in the next several hours.
