Metro Manila and some nearby provinces are expected to experience cloudy skies with rain showers and thunderstorms, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration on Saturday morning, October 4.
In its latest 24-hour weather forecast, Pagasa reported that Metro Manila will also experience moderate winds blowing from the south to southeast, with Manila Bay waters expected to be moderate.
Similarly, Laoag City, Baguio City, Clark Zone, Olongapo, Tagaytay City, and Lipa can expect the same weather conditions. Subic Bay’s coastal waters will also be moderate.
In other parts of the country, partly cloudy to at times cloudy skies with rain showers and thunderstorms might be experienced in Legazpi City, Puerto Princesa City, Kalayaan Group of Islands, Bacolod City, Iloilo City, Metro Cebu, Tacloban City, Cagayan de Oro City, Valencia City, Metro Davao, Zamboanga City, and Tuguegarao City.
Meanwhile, the rainfall warning over Bataan and Zambales due to severe tropical storm Paolo is now terminated.
In a separate advisory, Pagasa said that threats of storm surge over the Philippine coastal areas have ceased as Paolo’s maximum winds moved farther offshore. However, wind-driven waves may still affect low-lying coastal communities.
Paolo has exited the Philippine area of responsibility as of Saturday morning, but Pagasa reported that they are monitoring a new low-pressure area that has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression outside of PAR within the next 24 hours. /das
