THE Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Friday that weather would be generally fair across the country as the southwest monsoon (“habagat”) starts to weaken in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the low pressure area (LPA) off north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes is expected to dissipate in the next 12 hours, according to weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.
“Although isolated downpour and thunderstorms are expected in some parts in the afternoon or at night, we can expect fair weather conditions across the country,” Aurelio said.
The Pagasa forecaster said habagat is still bringing rain, especially in areas in Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
“But starting Sunday and in the coming days, the southwest monsoon will be hardly felt,” he said.
