Easterlies to bring hot, humid weather in Luzon; cloudy skies, rains in VisMin
MANILA, Philippines — The easterlies on Tuesday are expected to bring hot and humid weather in Luzon and overcast skies with chances of thunderstorms in Visayas and Mindanao, the state weather bureau said.
“Dito sa bahagi ng Luzon ay generally fair weather condition ang ating inaasahan at mainit at maalinsangan ang ating panahon at mababa ang tiyansa ng pag-ulan. Sa bahagi ng Visayas at Mindanao ay magiging bahagyang maulap at maulap ang kalangitan, mayroon lang tayong tiyansa ng isolated thunderstorms,” according to Grace Castañeda, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
(In parts of Luzon, we expect generally fair weather with hot and humid weather and low chances of rainfall. In parts of Visayas and Mindanao, we expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of isolated thunderstorms.)
“Sa kasalukuyan ay easterlies o yung mainit na hangin na galing dagat pasipiko ang umiiral sa silangang bahagi ng ating bansa kung saan dala nito ang mainit at maalinsangang panahon lalong lalo na sa tanghali, at bagama’t mababa ang tiyansa ng mga pag-ulan ay mayroon pa din tayong posibilidad ng mga isolated na pag-ulan pagkulog lalong lalo na sa bahagi ng Mindanao,” she added.
(At present, easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean prevail in the eastern part of our country, bringing hot and dry weather in the afternoon. While there is a low chance of rains, we have a possibility of isolated rain showers and thunderstorms in parts of Mindanao.)
Pagasa did not also raise a gale warning in any seaboards nationwide.
Castañeda, meanwhile, said the northeast monsoon or amihan will stop prevailing in the country anytime this week, marking the start of the hot season.
“Nakikita natin anumang araw man ngayong linggo ay magdedeklara na tayo ng pagtatapos ng amihan season kung saan ito na din ang hudyat ng simula ng panahon ng tag-init,” she said.
(We see that anytime this week, we would declare the end of amihan season, marking the beginning of the hot season.)
