CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu can expect a fair weather condition with isolated rain showers and localized thunderstorms in the next five days or from Sunday to Thursday.
This is according to a weather specialist in Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration in Mactan (Pagasa-Mactan).
Jhomer Eclarino told CDN Digital on Sunday, October 15, that the public could expect the localized thunderstorms to occur, usually in the afternoon and in the evening.

Eclarino added that Pagasa-Mactan was not monitoring any low-pressure areas in the country.
“Padayon lang tang magmonitor sa atong mga gi-issue nga thunderstorm advisories and maglikay ta sa kainiton sa panahon. Medyo taas ang atong heat index, so take precautionary measures,” Eclarino said.
(Let’s just continue to monitor our thunderstorm advisories and we just stay away from the heat. It is just because our heat index is a little bit high so take precautionary measures.)

“And magdala ug mga panangga sa init if molakaw ta,” Eclarino stated.
