MANILA, Philippines 鈥� Parts of the Kalayaan Islands and Palawan will experience rainy weather on Monday due to a low-pressure area (LPA) outside the country鈥檚 area of responsibility, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In a morning forecast, Pagasa also reported that easterlies would bring rain over Quezon province and the Bicol Region, while slight rains are expected in Batanes province because of the northeasterly wind flow.

鈥淔or the rest of Luzon, patuloy pa rin mararanasan ang partly cloudy to cloudy conditions; kung may pagulan man, ay panandalian lamang po ito na thunderstorms na mas madalas po nararanasan sa hapon o sa gabi,鈥� said Pagasa weather specialist Rhea Torres.
(For the rest of Luzon, partly cloudy to cloudy conditions will continue to be experienced. If there is any rain, it will be brief thunderstorms that are more often experienced in the afternoon or evening.)
鈥淪a magiging lagay naman po ng panahon for the rest of the country dahil sa epekto ng easterlies and LPA, maaring maranasan pa rin po yung mga pagulan sa iilang bahagi ng Visayas at Mindanao and then sa Palawan,鈥� she further said.
