The easterlies, or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean, will be the dominant weather system in the country in the next three days, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Saturday, Aug. 28.
PAGASA weather specialist Ezra Bulquerin said the easterlies will bring generally fair weather conditions across the country with some rain showers mostly in the afternoon or evening.
In the next 24 hours, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may prevail over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Aurora, and Quezon.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers.
PAGASA warned the public against flash floods or landslides that may occur during severe thunderstorms, which are often associated with short-lived heavy rain, lightning, thunder, gusty winds, and sometimes hail.
Bulquerin said PAGASA has not monitored a low pressure area that may affect the country in the next few days.
The State weather bureau has not issued any gale warning as coastal water conditions will be slight to moderate. Fisherfolk and seafarers are safe to sail.
