PAGASA: Wind system to bring rain over Palawan, Mindanao

An inter-tropical convergence zone may bring rain over parts of Palawan province and Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Wednesday. PAGASA, in its 5 a.m. bulletin, also noted the warm weather with isolated rain in Metro Manila and other parts of the country. "Southern Palawan and Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. The rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms," it said. For Metro Manila, PAGASA said the temperature may range from 25 to 33 degrees Celsius. In its extended weather forecast, PAGASA indicated warm weather may prevail over Metro Manila until Sunday, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 33 degrees. On Tuesday, PAGASA forecaster Elvie Enriquez said despite the entry of the amihan (northeast monsoon), Filipinos can still expect the weather to become warm again due to the easterly winds. Meanwhile, PAGASA said moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast and southeast will prevail over Extreme Northern Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Light to moderate winds blowing from the east to southeast will prevail over the rest of Luzon and Visayas and coming from the northeast to north over Mindanao. The coastal waters along these areas will be slight to moderate, it said. — LBG, GMA News
