MANILA, Philippines – Pack an umbrella because it's going to be a rainy weekend, weather bureau PAGASA said Friday.
PAGASA officer-in-charge and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Undersecretary Graciano Yumul said Metro Manila, Bicol and some parts of Visayas will experience more rains due to the convergence of the northeast monsoon (amihan) and easterlies, or the winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.
Yumul said the weather system will produce light but continuous downpours over Metro Manila until Sunday.
Meanwhile, Northern Luzon, which includes the areas of Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, Isabela, Quezon Province and Aurora, will also experience heavy rains brought about by the northeast monsoon.
Yumul said it is up to the Philippine National Police if they will still decide to transport former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo by helicopter even in bad weather.
PAGASA expects weather to improve in Metro Manila by Monday.
Yumul did not attribute the low pressure area (LPA) spotted 330 kilometers of Puerto Princesa, Palawan to the Metro Manila rains. He said this weather disturbance is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility Friday noon.
Yumul said the western section of the Philippines is experiencing rains because of the La Niña phenomenon.
He noted this section of the country should be dry during this period of the year. - ABS-CBNnews.com
