Expect hot and humid weather over PH due to easterlies, says Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Easterlies will bring hot weather in the entire country on Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported.

The state weather agency, however, said that there will be possibilities of isolated rains, especially in the afternoon and evening.

“Easterlies naman po o ‘yung mainit na hangin mula sa Dagat Pacifico ‘yung kasalukuyan pong umiiral dito po sa buong bahagi ng ating bansa,” Pagasa weather specialist Grace Castañeda said in a public weather forecast.

(Easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean currently prevail in the entire country.)

“Dala pa rin po nito ‘yung mainit at maalinsangan na panahon at ‘yung mga tsansa ng pulo-pulong pag-ulan, pagkulog, at pagkidlat lalong-lalo na po ‘yan sa hapon at sa gabi,” she added.

(This brings hot and humid weather and chances of isolated rains and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening.)

No gale warning is raised over the country’s coastal waters, but Castañeda advised those who will set sail in the northern and eastern seaboards to take caution as the waters will be in a moderate to rough state.

Meanwhile, the low pressure area that Pagasa was monitoring already left the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Tuesday afternoon.

“Kahapon po ng Martes, alas-singko ng hapon, ‘yung low pressure area na mino-monitor natin ay lumabas na po ng Philippine Area of Responsibility at wala na po tayong nakikitang direct effect nito sa ating bansa,” said Castañeda.

(Yesterday, Tuesday, 5 p.m., the low pressure area that we are monitoring left the Philippine Area of Responsibility and we are not seeing any direct effect to our country.)

She noted that they are not monitoring any weather disturbance for now.
