Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains will prevail over Batanes and Babuyan Islands due to the effects of the northeasterly windflow, the state weather bureau said.
On Sunday, PAGASA also said that easterlies, or warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean, will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to Eastern Visayas, Aurora, Quezon, and the rest of Cagayan Valley.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country, on the other hand, may still expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms.
In a 4 a.m. weather advisory, DOST-PAGASA Weather Specialist Grace Castañeda confirmed that cloud clusters east of Mindanao but outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) have now formed into a low pressure area (LPA).
The LPA’s location is estimated at 1,605 kilometers east of Northeastern Mindanao, and based on the weather bureau’s analysis, the weather disturbance is unlikely to strengthen into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours.
“It has no direct effect in any part of the country but we have not ruled out the possibility that in the next 24 to 48 hours it may enter PAR,” she added.
No gale warning is raised over the entire country.
