MANILA, Philippines — Generally pleasant weather is expected across the country Tuesday, although isolated rain showers are possible during the afternoon and evening, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Inaasahan na patuloy nang gaganda ang panahon sa dulong Hilagang Luzon,” said Pagasa senior weather specialist Chris Perez in his latest weather report on Monday.
(The weather is expected to continue to improve in the far Northern Luzon.)
“Generally maaraw na po at medyo maalinsangan sa buong Luzon maliban na lang sa mga ilang pulo-pulong dagliang pagulan na minsan may kasamang mga pagkidlat at pagkulog lalo na sa dakong hapon at gabi,” he added.
(Generally, it will be sunny and a bit hot all over Luzon except for a few rain showers that may include lightning and thunder, especially during the afternoon and evening.)
Meanwhile, hot and humid weather is also expected in the entire Visayas and Mindanao, but isolated rain showers will remain likely to occur during the afternoon and evening.
The forecast temperature range in key cities/areas:
Metro Manila: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
Baguio City: 16 to 23 degrees Celsius
Laoag City: 25 to 33 degrees Celsius

No storms or typhoons are forecast to form or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the next two to three days, said Perez.
No gale warning is also currently raised, but moderate to rough seas should still be expected in the country’s seaboards.
“Ibayong pagiingat po sa mga kababayan nating papalaot, lalong lalo na ‘yung mga mangingisda at ‘yung may mga maliliit na sasakyang pandagat,” he said.
(Extra care should be observed while sailing, especially for fishermen and those with small boats.)
