MANILA, Philippines — Fair weather is expected in most parts of the country on Tuesday with chances of rain showers caused by isolated thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

Meanwhile, Batanes and Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies and rain showers due to the northeasterly surface wind flow.

“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon magiging maaliwalas ang ating panahon, subalit asahan pa rin ang mataas na tiyansa na posibleng pagkakaroon ng panandaliang buhos ng ulan lalo na sa dakong hapon at gabi na dulot pa rin ng isolated thunderstorms,” said Pagasa weather specialist Meno Mendoza.

(The rest of Luzon will have clearer skies, but expect a high chance of short-term rain showers, especially in the afternoon and evening, caused by isolated thunderstorms.)

The same fair weather is expected to prevail over the entire Visayas, while Mindanao will have hotter and more humid weather. Isolated thunderstorms, however, should still be expected during the afternoon and evening.

The forecast temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa for Tuesday:

Metro Manila: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius

Baguio City: 16 to 25 degrees Celsius

Laoag City:  24 to 32 degrees Celsius

Tuguegarao: 22 to 32 degrees Celsius

Legazpi City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius

Puerto Princesa City: 24 to 32 degrees Celsius

Tagaytay: 21 to 30 degrees Celsius

Kalayaan Islands: 26 to 33 degrees Celsius

Iloilo City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Cebu: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius

Tacloban City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius

Cagayan De Oro City: 25 to 31 degrees Celsius

Zamboanga City: 24 to 34 degrees Celsius

Davao City: 25 to 33 degrees Celsius

On the other hand, gale warning is still raised over the seaboards of Batanes, Calayan, Babuyan Islands, Cagayan, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur due to the effects of the northeasterly surface wind flow.

“Malalaki po ang alon sa nabanggit na mga lugar, kaya’t pinapayuhan pa rin ang mga mangingisda na wag pumalaot sa nasabing mga baybaying dagat,” said Rojas.

(The waves are big in the mentioned areas, so fishermen are still advised not to sail on the said shores.)

The rest of the country’s surrounding coasts, meanwhile, will experience moderate to rough seas.
