Weather: Isolated rainshowers, thunderstorms loom over PHL

Isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms loom over parts of the country even as strong to gale-force winds continue to threaten the seaboards of Luzon. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said this is due to moderate to strong southwesterly surface windflow over Luzon. "The whole country will experience partly cloudy to at times cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms," it said in its 5 p.m. bulletin. PAGASA said moderate to strong winds blowing from the Southwest will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the Southwest with slight to moderate seas. Meanwhile, PAGASA said strong to gale-force winds may affect the seaboards of Luzon. "Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves," it said. — KBK, GMA News
