MANILA, Philippines — The country will experience another hot and humid day on Tuesday with isolated rainshowers possibly occurring in the afternoon or evening, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration.
The isolated rainshowers will be caused by localized thunderstorms, according to Pagasa’s 4 a.m. weather forecast.
“Dito sa Luzon, kasama na ang Metro Manila, patuloy na makakaranas ng mainit at maalinsangang panahon at sa bandang hapon at sa gabi ay mataas pa rin ang tsansa ng thunderstorms,” Pagasa weather specialist Ariel Rojas said.
(In Luzon, including Metro Manila, will continue to experience hot and humid weather, with high chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.)
Currently, the easterlies or warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean are affecting the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao.
