MANILA, Philippines — Warm weather and clear skies will prevail in Metro Manila and most parts of the country on Friday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Dito sa Metro Manila at sa nalalabing bahagi ng ating bansa, ay mas maaliwalas na panahon ang ating mararanasan. Mainit at maalinsangan at may tsansa pa rin tayo ng mga biglaan at panandalian na pagbuhos ng ulan na dala ng localized thunderstorms,” said Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil in an early morning update.
