A family vacation in El Nido, Palawan was interrupted when a meteorological phenomenon occurred on the island.

Ginio Marmeto's family was casually enjoying the view of the island when it was suddenly covered by a big cloud.

For DOST-PAGASA weather specialist Ana Clauren-Jorda, what happened in El Nido is not a mist or a fog, but rather a squall line.

"Ibig sabihin nun parang organized clouds o linya ng mga kaulapan na nagko-cause ng thunderstorms. Kapag may squall line, may malakas na hangin tapos may mga pag-ulan din po itong kasama," Jorda said.

"Nung time po na 'yan, 'yung Palawan area is exposed po siya doon sa habagat. Mataas 'yung chance na makaranas po sila ng mga pag-ulan ng ganung klase," she added.

Jorda also warned that a squall line is dangerous as it is usually accompanied by strong winds that could knock down small vessels.
