MANILA — Scattered rains will continue to prevail over most parts of the country due to the trough of a low pressure area (LPA) and the northeast monsoon affecting northern Luzon, state weather agency Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
The LPA was last spotted at 205 km west southwest of General Santos City, South Cotabato.
The trough of the LPA will cause cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rainshowers and thunderstorms over Bicol Region,eastern and central Visayas, Caraga, and cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over Mimaropa, western Visayas, northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula and Quezon.
Northeast monsoon, on the other hand, will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region and Ilocos Region.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will also experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers, but this is due to localized thunderstorms, according to PAGASA.
Moderate to strong winds will blow over northern Luzon, eastern section of central and southern Luzon, and of Visayas and Mindanao. Coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said. (PNA)
