Weather Today – June 27, 2017

 
 
Rainy Tuesday in Southern Luzon and Western Visayas
 
After enjoying the long weekend, don’t forget to bring your umbrellas because rains may still occur.
 
The Ridge of High Pressure Area (HPA) continues to affect the eastern section of Northern and Central Luzon. The ridge is an extended part of an anti-cyclone that suppresses cloud formation, causing lesser chance of rains, producing fair weather condition. In spite of its dominance, light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in the Bicol Region, Western Visayas and the provinces of Mindoro, Aurora and Polilio Island.
 
In the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.
 
In the midst of the slightly humid weather, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Samuel Duran clarified that the country remains free from El Niño or the unusual climatological drought caused by a temperature rise in the Pacific Ocean.
 
Duran also added that the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, the warm and most air from the southwestern is forecast to affect the country again in July.
