PAGASA forecasts isolated rain showers, hot and humid conditions across the country

PAGASA forecasted partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms across the country due to localized thunderstorms on Monday.

A ridge of high-pressure area over eastern sections of Northern Luzon is causing less cloud formation, making rain unlikely in these areas.

The weather service warned that although there's a slim chance of a low-pressure area forming into a tropical storm this week, isolated rain showers may still occur due to localized thunderstorms across the country.

Elsewhere, especially in the eastern section of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, easterlies are affecting weather patterns, bringing hot and humid conditions with isolated rain showers likely.

In Metro Manila and other parts of the country, winds would be light to moderate from the east to northeast with coastal waters slight to moderate.

Temperatures in Metro Manila reached a high of 35°C on Monday afternoon, while heat indices could reach up to 42°C in some areas, posing potential health risks such as heat cramps and exhaustion.
