Clear, sunny skies expected over next 5 days in PH

MANILA, Philippines – The entire archipelago could expect clear and sunny skies at least over the next five days due to the easterlies – warm, humid winds that pass through the Pacific Ocean – the state-run weather bureau said on Sunday. Weather specialist Veronica Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said, however, that localized thunderstorms would be experienced especially from late afternoon or at night. She said that Pagasa has not monitored any weather disturbance forming in or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the coming days. Still, the national weather agency has said that zero to one tropical cyclone could occur this month. In particular, the easterlies would bring partly cloudy to overcast skies, isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of the country within the next 24 hours, she added. As temperatures rise, particularly from late morning until mid-afternoon, Pagasa advised the public to limit outdoor activity, especially when the sun's heat is at its peak, wear light-colored clothing, use sun protection like umbrellas and hats, and stay hydrated.
