MANILA, Philippines – Fair weather is forecast in Metro Manila and most of Luzon, while two weather systems are set to bring rains in Visayas and Mindanao on Sunday, the state weather bureau said.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the combination of a low-pressure area (LPA) and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will cause cloudy and rainy weather over Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan.

The LPA was located around 210 kilometers east of General Santos City “embedded along the ITCZ,” Pagasa reported.
Due to the LPA, 50 to 100 millimeters of rain is expected to fall on Sunday in the following areas:
* Surigao del Norte
* Surigao del Sur
* Dinagat Islands
* Southern Leyte
* Agusan del Norte
* Misamis Oriental
* Camiguin
Meanwhile, the shear line, an area where cool and warm winds intersect, will bring “cloudy skies and scattered rains” in extreme Northern Luzon, Pagasa added.
The rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila will have “generally fair weather,” but isolated rains are still possible, Pagasa Weather Specialist Daniel Villamil said at 5 a.m. on Sunday. /das
