The state weather bureau reported Monday that the country remains free from any low pressure area or tropical cyclone.
Weather forecaster Rhea Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that the prevailing weather system in the country is the easterlies, or warm winds from the Pacific Ocean.
Clouds and sporadic rainfall are predicted to be brought to some regions of Mindanao and the Visayas by this phenomenon.
She said cloud clusters, as shown in satellite photos, are causing rain to fall across the eastern parts of these regions, including the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and portions of Mindanao.
In general, the weather in Metro Manila and the rest of the country is expected to be pleasant; nevertheless, there is a possibility that isolated thunderstorms may deliver bouts of unexpected rain in the afternoon or evening.
Over the next several days, it is anticipated that the occurrence of these isolated rain showers will become more frequent, especially in Mindanao and the eastern regions of Luzon and Visayas.
Torres stated that for the next two to three days, PAGASA does not foresee the development of any LPA or tropical cyclone that could affect the country.
The impacts of the easterlies will provide wet weather in the Bicol Region, while MIMAROPA—which includes Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan—may have afternoon rainfall on occasion. The weather in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will be warm and sunny, with the possibility of a few afternoon showers.
“Pagdating sa hapon, mataas yung posibilidad na magiging maulan din sa ilang bahagi ng MIMAROPA, kabilang na ang Mindoro, Marinduque, at Romblon,” Torres said.
While Central and Western Visayas, including Negros Island, may have cloudy skies and sporadic thunderstorms later in the day, Eastern Visayas will see wet weather. She said isolated thunderstorms may occur in the afternoon and evening throughout the remainder of Mindanao, wet weather is predicted for Caraga and Davao Oriental.
No gale warning is in effect for any coastal waters in the country, allowing for safe sea travel, especially for small vessels.
