Weather Today – January 8, 2018

Compared to the previous days, a warmer weather welcomes the week as Easterlies prevail particularly in the eastern section of the country. Easterlies are warm and humid winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. However, heat as a major factor for cloud formation, can also trigger rains mostly in the latter part of the day.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in Bicol Region, Caraga, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN and Quezon province. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the remaining parts of the archipelago will have chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

In an interview with Panahon TV, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza said no weather disturbance is expected to enter or develop within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). No gale warning was hoisted today but fishing boats and other small sea craft are still advised to take caution in venturing out into the sea.
