MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Friday that the easterlies are set to bring isolated rain showers across the country.

While the northeast monsoon continues to influence extreme Northern Luzon, resulting in cloudy skies and light rains over Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, the rest of the nation, including Metro Manila, can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA issued a warning 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.

In terms of temperature, Metro Manila is forecasted to range from 25°C to 32°C, Baguio City from 17°C to 25°C, Laoag City from 24°C to 32°C, Legazpi City from 24°C to 32°C, Metro Cebu from 25°C to 32°C, Puerto Princesa City from 26°C to 33°C, and Metro Davao from 25°C to 33°C. Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions as weather conditions evolve.
