MANILA – Warm and generally fair weather is expected across the Philippines on Monday as the easterlies continue to influence the country’s weather, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
Weather forecaster Aldczar Aurelio noted that the easterlies will bring humid conditions and rising temperatures, particularly during the midday period.
Temperatures may reach 34°C in Zamboanga City and Davao City, while Legazpi City, Kalayaan Islands, Puerto Princesa City, Tacloban City, and Cagayan de Oro City are forecast to experience temperatures of around 32°C.
The heat index, which measures how hot it feels when humidity is factored in, may rise to 39°C in Davao City and 34°C in Metro Manila.
Despite the generally fair weather, PAGASA warned that isolated thunderstorms could still occur and may bring flash floods or landslides in some locations.
Meanwhile, the weather bureau said no tropical cyclone threat is currently being monitored.
Across the archipelago, light to moderate winds and slightly to moderately rough seas are expected to prevail.
