LAPU-LAPU CITY, Cebu — Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains and thunderstorms will affect the Visayas on Tuesday, July 14, the state weather bureau reported.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the expected conditions were due to Localized Thunderstorms, or brief weather disturbances caused by daytime heating.

The Visayas can also expect light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas throughout the day.
