MANILA — The Philippines is set to experience partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers, as forecasted by the national weather agency.

According to Philippines News Agency, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the southwest monsoon will affect the weather conditions, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies accompanied by isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly over Batanes and the Babuyan Islands. The bulletin, issued at 4 a.m. Saturday, also included warnings of possible flash floods or landslides in these areas due to moderate to occasionally heavy rains.
