Sunny, Rainy Weather Mix on Monday

A mix of sunny and rainy weather is expected in most parts of the country on Monday due to two weather systems, according to state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The easterlies or warm winds from the east affect the Luzon and Visayas while Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) continues to affect southern Mindanao.

The ITCZ, the thick clouds coming from the south of Asia, is considered a breeding ground for low-pressure areas (LPAs) or potential cyclones.

For Monday forecast, cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms will be experienced over Mindanao, eastern Visayas, Bicol region and the provinces of Aurora, Quezon, Cagayan and Isabela.

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

Moderate to strong winds coming from the east to southeast will prevail over northern Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Winds will be light to moderate coming from the east with slight to moderate seas.

The state weather bureau has not issued gale warning as the fisherfolks are safe to venture into the seas. (PNA) JMC/CLTC
