MANILA, Philippines — Rain showers are expected in parts of Central Luzon, while the rest of the country will have generally fair weather due to the easterlies, according to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In a morning forecast on Sunday, the state weather service said easterlies have become the dominant weather system in the country as the northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan, continues to weaken.
“Tuluyan pa nga humina yung northeast monsoon at sa ngayon, wala na itong naapektuhan sa anumang bahagi ng bansa,” Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil reported.
(The northeast monsoon has continuously weakened, and right now, it has no direct effect in any parts of the country.)

“Itong easterlies ang maka-ka-apekto sa malaking bahagi ng ating kapuluan sa mga susunod na araw. Makararanas tayo ng pangkalahatan na maaliwalas na panahon, maliban na lang sa tsansa ng isolated rain showers o localized thunderstorms,” he added.
(Easterlies will affect the rest of the country in the following days. We will have generally fair weather, with chances of isolated rain showers and localized thunderstorms.)
Besides the two weather conditions, Villamil said they have not monitored any weather disturbance or low-pressure area that may enter the country’s area of responsibility for the next few days.
No gale warning had been raised in any of the country’s seaboards, he added.
