MANILA, Philippines — Generally fair weather is expected to prevail throughout the country on Friday, but rain should still be expected during the afternoon and evening, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Dito sa Kamaynilaan pati na rin sa nalalabing bahagi pa ng Luzon ay patuloy na makakaranas ng maaliwalas na panahon sa umaga hanggang tanghali,” said Pagasa weather specialist Ana Clauren.
(Manila as well as the rest of Luzon will continue to experience fair weather from morning to noon.)
“Ngunit pagsapit po ng hapon hanggang gabi ay mataas po ang tiyansa ng mga panandaliang buhos ng ulan dulat ng localized thunderstorms,” she added.
(But from afternoon to night, there is a high chance of short-term rains due to localized thunderstorms.)

Pagasa also said that no gale warning is raised across the country’s coasts, as only slight to moderate sea conditions are expected in the Philippines’ surrounding seaboards.
Meanwhile, the state weather bureau is currently monitoring two weather disturbances still outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).
Clauren said of the two is tropical storm “Dianmu” (international name) which was last spotted 585 kilometers northwest of Pagasa Island, Palawan. The other one is a still unnamed storm spotted 2,070 km east of Visayas.
Both the tropical storms are not expected to enter PAR and affect the country in any way, according to Clauren.
