PAGASA Says Fair Weather Will Prevail Over Most Parts of PH
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that fair and warm weather will prevail over most parts of the country.
On Wednesday (August 21, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The southwest monsoon continues to weaken.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina reported that fair and warm weather is expected over most parts of the country as habagat continues to weather. It will no longer affect the country’s weather conditions directly.
“Ang hanging habagat ay nakakaapekto na lang sa dulong bahagi ng ating bansa at wala na masyadong epekto sa ating kapuluan,” said Badrina.
The easterlies will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains over the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao. It will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region.
“Sa ngayon nga, easterlies ang siyang pinaka-nakakaapekto partikular sa Eastern Visayas at eastern Mindanao,” Badrina explained.
The localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
“Kaya inaasahan natin na malaking bahagi ng ating kapuluan ay makararanas ng generally fair weather. Mainit na tanghali pa din ang mararanasan lalong-lalo sa may area ng Luzon, pero malaki ang tiyansa ng pag-ulan sa hapon o gabi dulot ng localized thunderstorms,” he added.
The weather agency has advised the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
A low-pressure area in extreme Northern Luzon left the Philippine area of responsibility as of Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao and the remaining parts of the country will be slight to moderate. No gale warning was raised over any of the country’s seaboards, according to PAGASA.
