EXPECT a rainy New Year’s Eve in Cebu especially after a low pressure area entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility yesterday morning.
Pagasa Mactan forecast light rains in Cebu and Central Visayas for the next five days.
“Evaporation happens during the afternoon. That is why we experience rains from the afternoon until evening,” said Enzo Puerto, weather specialist of Pagasa Mactan, which recorded 20.6 millimeters of rain last December 25.
The LPA that entered the Philippines was spotted 860 kilometers off the eastern portion of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. It is a weak one and there is a low chance of it becoming a typhoon, said Puerto, who added that “possible changes can happen.”
The northeast monsoon contributes to the cold winds blowing in the Philippines but this has also lessened the occurence of thunderstorms, said Puerto.
