THE state weather bureau said that at least one storm could still form and enter the Philippine area of responsibility this May,
Pagasa earlier staid that at least two storms could form within or enter the Philippine area this month.
“Ngayong buwan nga ng Mayo posible pa rin na may mabuo na at least na isa na bagyo na maaaring mabuo, papasok sa loob ng Philippine area of responsibility,” Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said in a weather report early Monday.
Badrina said that Luzon could still experience relatively hot weather during the daytime, which could be followed by isolated rains and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, especially in the western section of the island.
Metro Manila and nearby areas in the past few days have been experiencing frequent downpours and thunderstorms in the afternoon towards the evening.
Pagasahas said that the phenomenon signals the country’s transition from the warm and dry season to the wet season, which usually begins every June.
Extreme northern Luzon, including Batanes, could be hit by rains due to the shear line or where the cold and warm air meets, according to Badrina.
