PH to experience partly cloudy skies, isolated rain showers, thunderstorms
The country may continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy weather with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the next 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Wednesday, April 19.
It said the easterlies or the warm air coming from the Pacific Ocean will still be the dominant weather system in the country.
Weather specialist Obet Badrina advised the public to avoid, if possible, going out between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., which are the peak hours of hot weather.
Badrina added that there is still little chance of tropical cyclone development until the end of April, but PAGASA will continue to monitor for any sudden changes in the weather forecast.
However, PAGASA advised the public to remain vigilant as there can be flooding or landslides during severe afternoon or evening thunderstorms, which are often accompanied by sudden heavy rains, lightning, thunder, gusts of wind, and sometimes hail.
Meanwhile, no gale warning is currently raised over any of the country’s seaboards, as the coastal waters will be light to moderate throughout the archipelago in the next 24 hours.
PAGASA said small boats and other sea vessels are safe to sail.
