MeaANILA — Warm and humid conditions are expected to persist throughout the Philippines, according to a statement from weather forecaster Rhea Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday.
Torres noted the absence of cloud clusters capable of producing rain, attributing the prevailing weather pattern to a ridge of high-pressure area (HPA) stretching over the eastern portions of Northern and Central Luzon. This configuration reduces the likelihood of rainfall across these regions.
However, Torres cautioned that isolated rain showers remain possible, particularly during the afternoon or evening hours. She emphasized that overall, fair weather will dominate, with these sporadic showers lasting between 30 minutes to two hours.
Temperatures
Temperatures are expected to soar, with Tuguegarao potentially reaching up to 36°C and Metro Manila up to 34°C. Zamboanga could experience temperatures of up to 35°C, while Kalayaan Islands, Puerto Princesa, and Davao may see highs of up to 34°C.
As a precaution, Torres advised the public to carry umbrellas and water when venturing outdoors.
Meanwhile, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are forecasted across the Philippine archipelago.
