Meanwhile, Quiblat said the weather in Metro Cebu on Sunday and Monday would be fair which means that the public could experience sunny weather in the morning with chances of rain in the afternoon.
“Dunay posibilidad nga kusog ang mga pag-ulan during severe thunderstorms kay kung dunay mga pag-ulan is [due to] localized thunderstorms kay wala pa ta’y [weather] system nga naka apekto diri sa Visayas nga dako nga weather system,” Quiblat said.
Moreover, the southwest monsoon (locally known as Habagat) is affecting the central and northern part of Luzon.
