MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Saturday (09 Dec 2023) that the prevailing weather condition across the nation will be marked by isolated rain showers or thunderstorms induced by the easterlies.
While the northeast monsoon exerts its influence on extreme Northern Luzon, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms attributed to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms might lead to flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas.
Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters, while the rest of the archipelago will encounter light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
The temperature forecast is as follows: Metro Manila, ranging from 24°C to 31°C; Baguio City, 17°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 24°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 32°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 34°C.
