PAGASA: PHL will have 'basically good weather' in next 24 hours

Except for isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, the whole country may expect “basically good weather” for the rest of this weekend, a state weather forecaster said Saturday afternoon.

But PAGASA said rain may fall over parts of the country, including flood-affected areas in Mindanao such as Davao and Caraga.

“Wala tayong inaasahang bagyo na aapekto sa ating bansa sa susunod na dalawa hanggang tatlong araw. Ang buong bansa [ay magkakaroon ng] basically good weather,” PAGASA forecaster Chris Perez said in an interview on dzBB radio.

PAGASA’s 5 p.m. bulletin said the easterlies, or warm winds from the east, are affecting the eastern section of the country.

It said the whole country will be partly cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly over:

– Cagayan Valley
– Aurora and Quezon provinces
– Bicol region
– Eastern Visayas
– Caraga and Davao regions.

PAGASA also said moderate to strong winds blowing from the east to northeast will prevail over the country and the coastal waters will be moderate to rough. — LBG, GMA News
