PAGASA forecasts warm, humid Holy Week with scattered rains

The state weather bureau PAGASA forecasts warm and humid conditions for the country during Holy Week due to Easterly winds, with scattered rains expected in some areas on Holy Wednesday, March 27.

Metro Manila will experience sunny but humid weather with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms from Holy Wednesday through Good Friday, according to a public weather forecast issued by PAGASA.

Hot and humid conditions, along with possible afternoon or evening thunderstorms, are expected across the rest of the country throughout Holy Week, though rains are particularly likely in Luzon's Cordillera and Cagayan Valley regions as well as Aurora, Quezon, and Camarines Norte on Wednesday.

PAGASA advises that no tropical cyclone is anticipated during Holy Week, although easterly winds will bring moderate to heavy rains over parts of the archipelago on Tuesday, with potential flash floods or landslides in affected areas.

Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are forecast for Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, and Quezon, with residents advised to brace for possible adverse weather conditions.
