MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has forecast generally fair weather across the country in the coming days, with no storms expected.
However, isolated late-afternoon or nighttime downpours or thunderstorms may occur due to localized thunderstorms and the easterlies, Pagasa weather specialist Rhea Torres said on Wednesday (20 Nov 2024).
The northeast monsoon, or “amihan,” is bringing overcast skies and rain to Batanes, while the shear line, where hot and cold air meet, is causing scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Babuyan Islands.
In addition, the easterlies—warm, humid winds from the Pacific—are affecting regions including Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, Bicol, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao.
Pagasa noted that Metro Manila and other parts of the country can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with localized thunderstorms over the next 24 hours.
