MANILA, Philippines — Rain is forecast throughout the whole country on Monday, due to the trough of Tropical Depression Rosal and the effects of the northeast monsoon, locally known as the “amihan,” the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Based on Pagasa’s 4:00 p.m. weather bulletin, Rosal’s center was last located 495 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan with maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
Rosal’s trough, said Pagasa, is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms in Quirino, Aurora, Quezon, Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro and Camarines Norte.
Rosa’s trough will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain in Metro Manila as well and in the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, the effects of the “amihan” where light rain is expected, will be experienced in Ilocos Region, the Cordillera Administrative Region and the rest of Cagayan Valley.
