By October 1 and 2, temperatures in Metro Cebu will hover between 25 and 32 degrees Celcius. Winds will shift slightly, from the south to the southwest on October 1 and from the southeast to the northeast by October 2.

Meanwhile, Tropical Depression “Julian” is currently moving southward and is located 430 kilometers east of Calayan, Cagayan, as of 3 a.m. today. Its effects are minimal in Cebu.

The tropical depression has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 70 kilometers per hour but it is not expected to significantly impact the local weather in Metro Cebu.
