MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that the country will experience a warm Wednesday, as no cyclones are expected to develop for the rest of the week.
In a forecast by the state weather bureau, weather specialist Obet Badrina said that the country will have warm temperature with rains from afternoon to evening.
“Ang ilang bahagi pa ng ating bansa sa Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao ay makararanas ng mainit na panahon na may mga isolated na pag-ulan, pagkidlat, at pagkulog sa hapon hanggang sa gabi,” Badrina said.
(Some areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will experience warm weather with isolated rains with lightning and thunder from afternoon to evening.)
While Pagasa detected a tropical storm (international name: Lan) 2,670 kilometers east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon, it is still outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) and is not expected to affect the country.

“Hindi po natin ito inaasahang papasok o makakaapekto sa ating bansa. Makikita natin ito ay patungo sa bahagi ng Japan,” Badrina added.
(We do not expect the typhoon to enter or affect our country. We can see that its path will go to a portion of Japan)
Cloud clusters were also noticed east of Mindanao, but were also not expected to develop into a tropical storm.
“May ilang cloud clusters sa may silangang bahagi ng Mindanao, hindi ito inaasahang made-develop into a tropical storm,” Badrina said.
(There are a few cloud clumps east of Mindanao, but they are not expected to develop into a tropical storm.)
Northern Luzon, particularly Region 1, as well as the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, will experience cloudy to rainy weather brought by the southwest monsoon, while Metro Manila will have fair weather.
