CEBU CITY. Philippines—Cebu province is expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and/or thunderstorms from Tuesday to Saturday, July 18 to July 22, 2023, the weather bureau said.
This is based on the five-day weather outlook by Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas issued on Tuesday.
High chance of rain in Cebu
Engineer Al Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Mactan, said that for the next three days, there would be high chances of heavy rains, particularly during the afternoon and evening

As of 3 AM, the LPA was estimated at 810 kilometers East of Northeastern Mindanao, directly affecting the eastern portion of Mindanao.
The LPA does not have a direct effect yet in the country, according to Quiblat.
However, it is expected that by Friday, July 21, there will be a high chance that it will become a tropical cyclone.
No gale warning issued
Pagasa is still monitoring the movement of the LPA and has not yet issued a gale warning.
According to Quiblat, the wind is moving at 20-30 kilometers per hour, classified as light to moderate.
The temperature will range from 24 to 32 degrees in the next five days.
