MANILA, Philippines — Generally fair weather is expected over most of the country on Tuesday, except in the Caraga and Davao regionss in Mindanao due to the effects of easterlies, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Monday.

Despite the forecast fair weather, Pagasa weather specialist Ana Clauren, however, said light rain showers are still possible in areas affected by the northeast monsoon, specifically in the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon.

“Dito sa Metro Manila at nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon, asahan natin na magiging maaliwalas pa rin na may tiyansa lamang ng dagliang pagulan mula hapon hanggang gabi,” she added.

(Here in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, expect weather conditions to be clear with only a chance of sudden rain from afternoon to night.)

Meanwhile, the Caraga and Davao region in Mindanao will experience overcast skies and rain due to the easterlies, said Clauren while the rest of Mindanao as well as the entire Visayas will have generally fair weather conditions, with chances of rain in the afternoon and evening.

No low pressure area or storms are also expected to affect the country in the next three to five days, said Clauren.

• Metro Manila: 23 to 30 degrees Celsius
