The shear line will bring cloudy skies, scattered rains, and isolated thunderstorms to Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes. At the same time, the northern monsoon would cause similar weather in Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province,  Ifugao, Ilocos Region, and the Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon’s northern portion, as well as Central Luzon on Thursday.

“Ibayong pag-iingat pa rin po sa mga planong pumalaot sa mga dagat baybayin ng Luzon at sa silangang karagatan po ng ating bansa. Nasa katamtaman hanggang sa maalon pa rin ‘yung ating karagatan, na maaaring umabot po ng 3.1 meters yung taas ng mga pag-alon,” she said.

(Extra caution is still advised for those planning to sail in the coastal waters of Luzon and the eastern seas of our country. Sea conditions remain moderate to rough, with waves potentially reaching heights of up to 3.1 meters.)
