CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebuanos and those in the Visayas region can expect improved weather this Christmas Day on Wednesday. In a phone interview with chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Mactan, Engineer Alfredo Quiblat Jr., on Sunday, he said that the weather system that is affecting the entire Visayas was the shear line, hence the cloudy skies and rainshowers today, December 22.
Sunday’s temperature ranges from 25 to 30 degrees celsius. But starting Monday, December 23, the weather conditions are seen improving which is partly cloudy to cloudy, with 20-30 percent of isolated rainshowers. Similar conditions are also expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 24-25.
Quiblat added that the temperature on Christmas Day ranges from 26 to 31 degrees celsius because the shear line will be affecting Southern Luzon, not anymore in Visayas.
