CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebuanos will continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy weather for the next five days or until Thursday.

An official of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) in Mactan confirmed this to CDN Digital on Sunday.

Pagasa Mactan weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino added that this means Cebuans should expect a higher chance of isolated showers and localized thunderstorms in Cebu.

Eclarino reported that they were monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) as of 6 a.m. 440 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar in Eastern Visayas.

He explained that the LPA is only affecting Eastern Visayas while Central Visayas is experiencing localized thunderstorms.
