Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon are expected to experience cloudy skies with chances of rain on Tuesday due to the effect of the easterlies, according to the state weather bureau.
Based on its morning forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the easterlies, or the warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean, are forecast to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to the following areas:
Metro Manila
Bicol Region
Bulacan
Rizal
Quezon
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may persist in the rest of the country, also due to the easterlies.
Meanwhile, Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said they are monitoring a cloud cluster outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) but noted that it currently does not have any direct effect on any part of the country.
‘We are monitoring it to see if it could possibly become a low-pressure area (LPA) in the next few days,’ Badrina said.
Aside from the cloud cluster, no cyclones or LPAs are currently being monitored inside or outside the PAR. /das
