The state weather bureau forecasts generally fair weather on Holy Monday with occasional localized thunderstorms attributed to the frontal system in extreme northern Luzon and the easterlies for the rest of the country.
According to weather specialist Veronica Torres, Filipinos will continue to feel “hot and humid” climate early this week as the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has not monitored any low pressure area.
Torres said the frontal system, or the transition zone between two different air masses at the Earth’s surface, will bring cloudy skies and rains over Batanes, Cagayan—including Babuyan Islands—Apayao and Isabela.
The easterlies, meanwhile, or trade winds from the east will be responsible for the cloudy skies with isolated rain showers across Metro Manila and the rest of the country. PAGASA urges Filipinos who will go out to protect themselves against possible moderate to at times heavy rains.
Torres said the temperature outlook for Metro Manila and other major cities nationwide will likely range between 25 degrees Celsius (°C) to at least 34°C over the next three days.
