Bicol, 4 other areas across PH to experience rain due to easterlies
MANILA, Philippines – A rainy Monday is expected in five areas across the archipelago, including Bicol Region, due to the easterlies, or the winds blowing from the east, said the state weather bureau.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Administration (Pagasa), in its early morning forecast, said easterlies-induced rain and thunderstorms will be scattered over the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, and Quezon province.
“Sa may bahagi ng Bicol, kasama ng Quezon province, gayoon din sa may bahagi ng Eastern Visayas, Caraga, at Davao so sa mga lugar na iyon, ngayong araw, inaasahan natin na malaki iyong tsansa ng mga pag-ulan pati rin doon sa mga karatig na mga lugar,” Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said.
(In Bicol, Quezon province, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao, as well as its neighboring areas, we’re seeing high chances of rain.)
Generally fair weather, on the other hand, will prevail in Manila and the rest of the country, he noted.
“Maaliwalas at medyo mainit na panahon pa rin iyong mararanasan, maliban na lamang sa mga pulo-pulong pag-ulan, pagkidlat at pagkulog,” Badrina added.
