MANILA – The northeast monsoon or “amihan” affecting Northern Luzon, and the easterlies prevailing over the rest of the country will continue to bring cloudy skies with isolated rain showers, the weather bureau said Saturday.

In its 4 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon.

The "amihan" will likewise bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, and the rest of Cagayan Valley.

Meanwhile, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced over the Bicol Region due to the easterlies.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

Severe thunderstorms may result in flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas, PAGASA said.

Luzon and the eastern sections of the Visayas will experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while the rest of the archipelago will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.

The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 23°C to 31°C; Baguio City, 17°C to 26°C; Laoag City, 24°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 29°C; Metro Cebu, 25°C to 31°C; Puerto Princesa City, 27°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 33°C. (PNA)
