PAGASA Says Easterlies to Prevail Over Most Parts of PH
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that easterlies will bring isolated rains over parts of the country.
On Saturday (June 1, 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 reported that easterlies will bring cloudy skies with isolated rain showers over the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. An active tropical cyclone is being monitored outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Tropical Storm Maliksi was spotted at 1,065 kilometers west of extreme Northern Luzon packing maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 90 kph. It is moving at 10 kph in a northward direction.
Maliksi will not directly affect the country but enhance the southwest monsoon.
The easterlies will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of the country. Many parts of the country will experience warm weather.
According to PAGASA, the temperature at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Pasay City station would reach 42 degrees Celsius, while the Science Garden in Quezon City will register 41 degrees, placing Metro Manila’s heat index between extreme caution and danger categories.
It was recommended to the public to take preventative measures against heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and cramps.
The public is advised to drink plenty of water, avoid coffee, tea, and liquor, wear heat protective gear, limit outdoor activities, and reschedule heavy-duty activities at the start or end of the day to prevent heat-related illnesses.
However, possible flash floods and landslides are expected during severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over Northern and Central Luzon as well as the rest of the country will be slight to moderate, according to PAGASA.
