MANILA, Philippines — The southwest monsoon will dump rain over Batanes and Babuyan Islands on Saturday, Aug. 17, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In an early morning advisory, Pagasa specifically said that Batanes and Babuyan Islands may anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms as effects of the dominant southwest monsoon, locally termed habagat.
Pagasa declared the official onset of the rainy season in the country on May 29, which means that the southwest monsoon becomes the prevailing system influencing weather nationwide.
Meanwhile, Pagasa’s weather forecast for Saturday indicated that Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have generally fair weather despite chances of isolated rain showers brought by localized thunderstorms.
The state weather service also noted that the low pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility is still unlikely to affect the country’s weather.
Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said that based on their latest monitoring, the LPA was 375 kilometers north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, as of 3 a.m. on Saturday.
“Nananatiling maliit ‘yung tyansa ng nasabing low pressure area na maging isang ganap na bagyo sa mga susunod na araw at wala naman tayong inaasahang magiging direktang epekto nito sa ano mang bahagi ng ating bansa,” said Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil.
On predicted temperature ranges in key cities and areas around the country for Aug. 17, Pagasa issued the following:
Metro Manila: 26 to 34 degrees Celsius
Baguio City: 17 to 24 degrees Celsius
Laoag City: 24 to 32 degrees Celsius
