Warm weather over most of PH due to easterlies

MANILA: Most parts of the country will continue to experience warm weather due to the easterlies, the weather bureau said Tuesday.

There is also only a slim chance for the country to have a tropical cyclone in the next few days, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Patrick del Mundo said in the agency’s 5 a.m. weather bulletin.

No low pressure area was monitored to develop or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility, he said.

On Tuesday, PAGASA forecast isolated light rains over Batanes and Babuyan Islands due to the northeast monsoon.

Del Mundo said the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather, with isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

Up to 33 °C temperature is expected in Tuguegarao and Puerto Princesa; up to 32 °C in Metro Manila, Kalayaan Islands and Legazpi.

The temperature in Davao and Zamboanga could reach up to 34 °C; and up to 32 °C in Cebu and Iloilo.

Meanwhile, moderate to strong winds and m
oderate to rough seas will prevail over extreme Northern Luzon.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said.
