Isolated Rainshowers In Metro Manila, N. Luzon On Friday

Except in northern Luzon, most parts of the country will continue to have fair weather on Friday due to two weather systems affecting the country, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

PAGASA said the tail end of a cold front, which produces clouds and rain, affects extreme northern Luzon while the easterlies or warm winds affects the eastern section of the country.

The easterlies or winds from the east are “warm,” the convective activity brought about by its intense heat triggers the formation of localized thunderstorm clouds.

For Friday forecast, PAGASA said that cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced over the islands of Batanes, Calayan and Babuyan.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening will prevail over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

Light to moderate winds blowing from the east to southeast will prevail over northern Luzon and coming from the east over the rest of the country. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate. (PNA) JMC/CLTC
