IT rained during the first day of classes in the city, giving students and teachers––and residents––a bit of comfort amid the “weak” El Niño phenomenon still gripping the country.
June Frivaldo, a weather specialist of the state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), said the afternoon rain and the cloudy sky were due to a local thunderstorm.
Pagasa however has seen no big weather system like a low pressure area, tropical depression or typhoon in its radar. A bigger system could bring a sufficient volume of water needed for agriculture.
In a weather advisory, Pagasa said warm and humid weather conditions with chances of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening would continue to prevail over the country.
