Cloudy skies, rain showers seen as easterlies prevail

The easterlies – winds from the east that pass through the Pacific Ocean that carry humid, warm weather – will continue to affect most parts of the country, bringing cloudy skies and rain showers, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Sunday.

"The easterly winds would continue to prevail in many areas," weather specialist Grace Castañeda said.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are likely in Davao Region, Pagasa said in its 4 a.m. bulletin.

Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected in Caraga, Eastern Visayas, Bicol and the provinces of Quezon and Aurora.

Localized thunderstorms are expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in other parts of the country.

The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 26°C to 33°C; Baguio City, 18°C to 25°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 33°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Cebu, 27°C to 32°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 26°C to 33°C.
