“Kini (shear line) ang tinatawag nato nga convergence o pinagtagpo ng hangin gikan sa amihan ug hangin gikan sa easterlies, naghatag og mga kusog nga uwan,” Jhomer Eclarino, Pagasa weather specialist explained.
(This (shear line) is what we call the convergence or gathering of wind from the northeast monsoon and wind from the easterlies, this results in heavy rains.)
According to Eclarino, Metro Cebu will still experience “generally” mostly cloudy to cloudy skies with rain showers and thunderstorms until the weekend.
“Pero makasiniti gihapon ta sunny period pero naa chance rain shower nga mokalit-kalit tungod kini sa shear line and amihan,” he added.
(But we can still experience sunny period but there will be chance of rain shower that will suddenly occur due to the shear line and amihan.)
