Local leaders noted that aside from the eastern areas, the rest of the Philippines will experience mostly sunny skies and dry conditions throughout the day. Residents and travelers can expect comfortable weather with minimal disruptions.
Community members expressed relief as the forecast signals a break from recent rainy spells. “Maayo kay init naman ang panahon dito sa Maynila,” one resident said, appreciating the clear skies.
Regional Impact of Easterlies
Weather experts explained that the easterlies, prevailing winds from the east, typically bring moisture and rain to the eastern seaboard of the archipelago. This pattern is common during this season and is responsible for localized showers in provinces facing the Pacific Ocean.
Authorities advised residents in affected areas to remain cautious of sudden downpours and possible flash floods, especially in low-lying and mountainous regions.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Looking ahead, meteorologists forecast that the easterlies will continue to influence eastern parts while the western and central regions will remain mostly dry. This weather pattern is expected to persist until midweek, allowing outdoor activities to proceed smoothly in most areas.
Officials encouraged the public to stay updated through official channels for any changes in weather conditions.
