Easterlies to bring rain; no storms expected
MANILA, Philippines — Cloudy skies with thunderstorms are expected in the next few days due to the easterlies or winds blowing from the east, particularly from the Pacific Ocean, which are affecting Metro Manila and several parts of the country, the weather bureau said on Tuesday.
While the entire country will experience a “generally fair weather condition,” the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) noted that there would still be chances of isolated rain showers and thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms.
Pagasa weather specialist Grace Castañeda on Tuesday said easterlies would prevail especially in the eastern section of the country.
She also said that there would be no tropical cyclones or storms in the next few days that may affect the country.
The easterlies and localized thunderstorms may bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
