Pagasa: Easterlies to bring scattered rain showers to PH
MANILA, Philippines — The easterlies will bring isolated rain showers over parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao on Wednesday, even amid relatively hot and humid temperatures, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
According to Pagasa, the easterlies refer to the warm winds coming from the direction of the Pacific Ocean.
“Dito nga sa Luzon makikita natin na ang malaking bahagi ng Luzon ay makararanas ng mga isolated rain showers at thunderstorms at medyo mainit pa rin na tanghali,” said Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina.
