end of a cold front over extreme Northern Luzon and the easterly wave affecting Mindanao will bring cloudy skies and rains over parts of the country, the state-run weather bureau said Tuesday. Extreme Northern Luzon and the eastern sections of Central Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its weather forecast. “The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening,” Pagasa added. No tropical cyclone was monitored within the Philippine area of responsibility, the state-run weather bureau said. Meanwhile, moderate to strong winds blowing eastward from the southeast will prevail over extreme Northern Luzon. Likewise, winds from the east and northeast will go over the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southeast to east will prevail over extreme Northern Luzon and coming from the east and northeast over the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao. “Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate blowing from the east and northeast with slight to moderate seas except during thunderstorms,” Pagasa added. “The coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough,” Pagasa warned.
