In PAGASA’s latest public forecast, weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said hot and humid weather will persist in the country in the next three days due to the effects of the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean.
Villamil added important advisories for the public to avoid heat stroke including avoiding going outside or doing heavy-duty activities from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., as the maximum temperatures are mostly being recorded at this period.
He also reminded the public to stay hydrated, stay in well-ventilated areas, and wear light-colored clothes.

Get ready for a dazzling April spectacle as meteor showers and a brilliant comet take center stage in the night sky.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in its astronomical diary released on Monday, April 1 said meteor showers and a comet will be observed this month.
PAGASA said Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will be the “brightest” when it appears on April 21.
“It will reach its brightest point and pass perihelion on April 21 while being in the Taurus constellation, with an estimated visual magnitude of 4.6,” PAGASA said.
While the comet will be bright, a binocular with a 40- to 50-millimeter aperture or a small telescope may be used for the comet to be visible.
PAGASA also said it may eventually vanish from sight in the sunset glow due to its proximity to the Sun.
Meanwhile, the Lyrid meteor shower will be observed in the night sky from April 14 to 30 and will reach its peak on April 22. It will be visible once the constellation Hercules, the point in the sky from which the meteor shower appears to originate, rises at around 9:15 p.m. each night and remains active until about 5:13 a.m. the following day,” said PAGASA.
It noted that the best time to watch the shower is “shortly before dawn,” as up to 18 meteors per hour can be seen.
Meanwhile, the π-Puppids will be active from April 15 to 28 and will reach its peak on April 23.
“This meteor shower can be observed after sunset until the shower’s radiant sinks towards the horizon at around 10:11 p.m. The shower is expected to peak at around 8 p.m., so the best display might be seen before the radiant sets on 23 April,” PAGASA said.
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake jolted Surigao del Sur at 5:16 a.m. on Monday, April 1, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).
Phivolcs
Phivolcs traced the earthquake’s epicenter 24 kilometers (km) northeast of Lingig, Surigao del Sur
The tremor, which occurred at a depth of 28 km, was tectonic or caused by the movement of an active fault near the area.
Phivolcs said the tremor was “strong” at Intensity V in Lingig and Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, while it was “moderately strong” at Intensity IV in City of Bislig, Surigao del Sur.
It was “weak” at Intensity III in Boston, Davao Oriental.
Phivolcs’ instruments also recorded the quake at Intensity III (weak) in City of Bislig, Surigao del Sur and in Nabunturan, Davao de Oro, and Intensity I (scarcely perceptible) in City of Tandag, Surigao del Sur.
It said that while the quake may have caused property damage, aftershocks may not occur.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said while the northeast monsoon caused a slight drop in air temperature on Wednesday, March 20, it may have its final wave in the coming days.

PAGASA weather specialist Benison Estareja said in its public forecast on Wednesday morning that the northeast monsoon, also known as "amihan," has re-strengthened, affecting a significant portion of Northern and Central Luzon where light rains are experienced.
However, he said since the warm and dry season may soon officially begin, this could be the last wave of amihan.
“By tomorrow, iiral pa rin ang northeast monsoon sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon pero inaasahan na hihina agad ito pagsapit ng Friday at maaaring ito na ang katapusan o pagtatapos ng northeast monsoon season at iiral na iyong warm dry season or tag-init sa ating bansa (By tomorrow, the northeast monsoon will still prevail in huge part of Luzon but we expect that it will suddenly weaken on Friday, and it may be the end of its season, as the warm dry season will prevail in the country),” Estareja said.
Based on the PAGASA’s extended weather outlook from March 21 to 23, the actual air temperature in some key areas are: 23–32°C in Metro Manila, 24-32° in Legazpi City, 14–24°C in Baguio City, 25–32°C in Metro Cebu, 25–32°C in Iloilo City, 24–32°C in Tacloban City, 24–34°C in Metro Davao, 24–35°C in Zamboanga City, and 24–31°C in Cagayan de Oro City.
24-hour forecast
Over the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Eastern Visayas, Sorsogon, and Masbate will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, which are warm winds from the Pacific Ocean. PAGASA warned the public of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
In Cagayan Valley, Apayao, and Kalinga, flash floods or landslides may still occur in times of moderate to heavy rains, as cloudy skies with rains will be felt due to amihan.
Aurora and Northern Quezon will also have cloudy skies with light rains, while Metro Manila, Ilocos Region and the rest of Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to amihan.
PAGASA said the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
The public was also warned of flash floods or landslides that may occur during severe thunderstorms.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday, March 12 said the cloud clusters observed in Luzon and Mindanao may bring rains to certain areas.

In PAGASA’s 4 a.m. live broadcast, weather specialist Rhea Torres said Central Luzon, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Metro Manila, and the eastern portion of Mindanao may expect rains due to the cloud clusters.
“Mayroong namamataang maninipis na mga kaulapan na umiiral na nakakaapekto sa bahagi ng Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and Metro Manila area, so posible ngayong araw, may mga pag-ulang mararanasan mostly sa eastern sections ng Central and Southern Luzon area samantalang itong mga kaulapang namamataan natin ay most likely tatagal ngayong umaga and aaliwalas pagdating ng hapon (Thin cloud clusters were observed, which prevail and affect Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and Metro Manila area, so it is possible today that rains may be felt in the eastern section of Central and Southern Luzon, while these cloud clusters will most likely persist in the morning and fair weather will prevail in the afternoon),” Torres said.
“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng bansa, may namamataan ding mga kaulapan na posibleng makaapekto sa silangang bahagi ng Mindanao area, so possible din iyong mga kalat-kalat na pag-ulan, pagkidlat, at pagkulog (In the rest of the country, cloud clusters were also observed, which may affect eastern portion of Mindanao area, so it is possible to have scattered rains and thunderstorms),” she added.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean, and the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan” remain the dominant system in the country.
PAGASA warned the public in Davao Region, Caraga, Aurora and Quezon of threats from flash floods or landslides in times of moderate to heavy rains, as cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be felt due to the easterlies.
In Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains will be expected due to amihan. In Metro Manila and the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will also be felt due to the easterlies or localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA still warned of flash floods or landslides in the affected areas during severe thunderstorms.
