Partly cloudy skies to cloudy skies and isolated rains will prevail as devotees of the Black Nazarene from different parts of the country gather along the route of the ‘Traslacion’ in Manila on Thursday.
Based on its weather bulletin on Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the devotees must brace for light showers during the ‘Traslacion’ caused by the northeast m9nsoon or “hanging amihan.”
Weather specialist Benison Estareja said Metro Manila, the Ilocos region and the rest of Calabarzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains until January 10.
Localized thunderstorms may also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the rest of the country.
Estareja said ‘amihan’ will influence the weather in Northern and Central Luzon, while the shear line (convergence of warm and cold air masses) will affect Southern Luzon and the Visayas.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms in the Visayas, Palawan and Dinagat Islands will persist, he added.
