MANILA – The shear line will bring sporadic rains to the eastern section of northern Luzon while the easterlies will affect the eastern sections of southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao on Saturday (April 2).
In its 4:00 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said due to the presence of a shear line, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, and Mountain Province.
A shear line is the convergence of northeasterly and easterly winds that forms rain clouds.
The easterlies, meanwhile, will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to eastern Visayas, northern Mindanao, Caraga, Bohol, and Davao Oriental.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country, meanwhile, will have partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms brought by the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds headed northeast will blow over northern Luzon, with moderate to rough coastal water conditions.
Moderate to strong winds headed northeast to east, with similar coastal water conditions, will prevail over the rest of Luzon.
The Visayas and Mindanao will have light to moderate winds headed northeast to north, with slight to moderate seas.
The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 25°C to 34°C; Baguio City, 16°C to 24°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Cebu, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Davao, 24°C to 33°C; and Zamboanga City, 24°C to 33°C. (PNA)
