A combination of hot and humid weather will prevail in most parts of the Philippines in the coming days, after almost a week of rain caused by Tropical Depression "Amang", the state-run weather bureau said on Friday.

Weather specialist Benison Estareja of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the remnant circulation of Amang, which was some 40 kilometers southwest of Iba, Zambales, will still bring rain in some areas in Luzon.

"But with no weather disturbance being monitored that may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the coming days, we are back with hot and humid weather conditions in most parts of the country," Estareja said.

The Pagasa weatherman said the low pressure area (LPA), formerly Amang, may dissipate in the next few hours.

The LPA is bringing overcast skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Zambales and Bataan, the state weather bureau said.

Along with the localized thunderstorms, the same weather disturbance is affecting the rest of the country where partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may be likely within 24 hours, Pagasa said.
