High chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday afternoon or evening — Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Warm weather will prevail over the country on Wednesday due to the easterlies but thunderstorms may occur in the afternoon and evening, the weather bureau said.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration weather specialist Ariel Rojas said the easterlies will affect the whole country.

“Magdadala ito ng mainit at maalinsangang panahon at mas mataas ang tsansa ng mga thunderstorms sa hapon at sa gabi lalo na sa silangang bahagi ng ating bansa,” he said in the weather bureau’s daily forecast.

(This will bring hot and humid weather and there is higher chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.)

Pagasa warned that flash floods and landslides could occur during severe thunderstorms.

Fishing vessels and small seacrafts may freely venture out to the sea as no high waves are expected, Rojas also said, with moderate sea conditions expected over the eastern portion of the country while the rest of the seaboards of the country will have slight to moderate coastal conditions.

“Malaya makakapaglayag ang ating mga mangingisda at yung may mga maliliit na sasakyang pandagat dahil wala tayong inaasahang matataas na alon,” he said.

The weather bureau is not monitoring any weather disturbance that may develop and affect the country in the next three to five days, Rojas said.
