PAGASA sees warm weather due to easterlies


Warm weather due to the easterlies will prevail in most parts of the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Wednesday, April 28.

PAGASA weather specialist Ariel Rojas said the easterlies or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean will be the dominant weather system that will bring warm and humid weather conditions across the archipelago.

Seafarers and fisherfolk are safe to sail but were advised to observe caution when venturing out to sea.
