MANILA – The state-run weather agency on Saturday said that based on its latest data and analysis, there was already a lower possibility of any low-pressure area forming or entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) until the end of the year. However, Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) chief Nathaniel Servando said that the weather forecast is subject to change at any time. Meanwhile, weather specialist Loriedin Dela Cruz-Galicia said generally fair weather would be possible over the next 24 hours in most areas in the archipelago. She said two weather systems—northeast monsoon, locally known as ‘amihan’, and the easterlies—have been prevailing, with the former affecting Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Apayao, where cloudy skies with light rains would be likely. On the other hand, the easterlies—winds that carry humid and warm weather—would be experienced over the Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan areas, where partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms could occur. Pagasa said that Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to sometimes cloudy skies, with isolated light rains also due to amihan.
