MANILA — The majority of the Philippines is set to experience continued warm weather, driven by the prevailing easterlies, according to the latest update from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday (12 Dec 2023).
Meteorologist Patrick del Mundo of PAGASA indicated a low likelihood of tropical cyclone development in the coming days.
No low-pressure area has been detected to form or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility, he reported in the agency’s 5 a.m. weather bulletin.
PAGASA forecasts isolated light rains over Batanes and the Babuyan Islands attributed to the northeast monsoon on Tuesday.
However, the rest of the country is expected to enjoy generally fair weather, with sporadic rain showers resulting from localized thunderstorms.
Tuguegarao and Puerto Princesa could experience temperatures soaring up to 33 °C, while Metro Manila, Kalayaan Islands, and Legazpi may see up to 32 °C.
In Davao and Zamboanga, temperatures could reach up to 34 °C, while Cebu and Iloilo may experience up to 32 °C.
For extreme Northern Luzon, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are anticipated. In other areas, PAGASA predicts light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
As of now, the weather agency assures there are no imminent threats of significant weather disturbances.
