PAGASA Says Easterlies to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that easterlies will bring scattered rains over some parts of the country.
On Friday (February 23, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The easterlies will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather expert Benison Estareja reported that easterlies will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers over the country.
The easterlies will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and Davao Region. It will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
The weather agency has warned the residents in the affected areas for the possibility of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
Estareja said that no tropical cyclone was spotted forming or entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility until the end of February.
“Based on our latest animation, we have not monitored any tropical cyclones or low-pressure areas and there is also a low chance of a weather disturbance until the end of this month,” Estareja said.
The weather expert said that zero to one tropical cyclone might be expected to form or enter the country’s vicinity within this month.
Because of its location, the Philippines is vulnerable to tropical cyclones, which typically bring with them intense rains and flooding and may cause considerable loss of life as well as damage to houses and crops.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over extreme Northern Luzon will be moderate to rough. The remaining parts of the country will be slight to moderate, according to PAGASA.
