Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 5) — After weeks of rains, residents in Metro Manila can look forward to clear skies and hot weather — at least for the next three days, a forecaster said Thursday.
“Nakikita po natin na improving weather tayo simula po bukas hanggang weekend dito sa Metro Manila,” weather specialist Ana Claren of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration told CNN Philippines’ New Day.
[Translation: Metro Manila residents are expected to see improving weather starting tomorrow until the weekend.]
“Generally, mainit at may pagka-maalinsangan po ulit iyong ating panahon in the next three days,” Clauren added.
[Translation: Generally, the weather will be hot and humid in the next three days.]
But for Thursday, monsoon rains will continue to drench Metro Manila and several other areas in Luzon, she said.
Light to heavy rain is expected in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Apayao, Abra, Batanes, and the Babuyan Islands, Clauren said.
Meanwhile, the National Capital Region, the rest of Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan, as well as Zambales, Bataan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, and Occidental Mindoro will have cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms, she added.
Incessant monsoon rains earlier triggered flooding in many areas including NCR, and landslides in parts of Luzon.
