MANILA – The easterlies sweeping across the country will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to several regions, along with humid conditions, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Tuesday (04 Mar 2025).
Rains are expected to affect the Bicol Region, Caraga, Quezon, Marinduque, Romblon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Davao Oriental, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides. PAGASA forecaster Benison Estareja advised residents to prepare for possible rain showers, especially in Mindanao, where cloud clusters from the easterlies may cause localized storms.
No tropical cyclones or low-pressure areas are expected in the Philippine Area of Responsibility this week, Estareja added.
In contrast, fair weather is expected across Luzon, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Temperatures in Metro Manila could reach 34°C, while Tuguegarao could see highs of 33°C. Humid conditions are also likely, particularly during midday.
The rest of the country will experience mostly fair weather with isolated rain showers. Coastal areas in the eastern Visayas and Mindanao should expect moderate to strong winds and rough seas. Elsewhere, light to moderate winds will prevail with calm to moderate seas.
