PAGASA Releases Latest Weather Update for Friday (March 18)
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that the Philippines will have a fair weather condition in the next three to five days.
On Friday (March 18, 2022), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The easterlies will continue to affect the country’s weather condition.
PAGASA reported that the easterlies will be affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It will bring partly cloudy to cloudy condition with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms over Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque and Romblon.
The Easterlies/Localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather condition over Visayas, Palawan including Kalayaan Islands, Occidental Mindoro, and Mindanao as well as Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
The weather agency has also warned the public of possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms in the affected areas.
PAGASA weather specialist Ezra Bulquerin said that the easterlies or warm winds blowing from the Pacific Ocean will bring warm and humid conditions in the upcoming days.
“For the next three to five days, as of now, easterlies po ang prevailing weather system natin na kung saan wala rin po tayong nakikitang namumuong sama ng panahon o LPA na maaaring makaapekto sa ating bansa. Kaya’t makakaranas pa rin po tayo ng magandang panahon. Bahagyang maulap hanggang sa maulap ang kalangitan and then may mga isolated rain showers nga lang pagdating ng hapon at gabi,” Bulquerin said.
Earlier this week, PAGASA has officially declared the start of the dry season in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over Northern and Central Luzon as well as the rest of the country will be slight to moderate.
