PH to have generally fair weather as easterlies prevail

Most of the country will have generally fair weather on Sunday as the easterlies or the winds from the Pacific prevail, state weather bureau PAGASA said.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Flash floods or landslides may result during severe thunderstorms.

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is affecting offshore Palawan, particularly the Kalayaan Group of Islands, PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said in a public weather forecast. 

Coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.

Sunrise was at 5:46 a.m. while sunset will be at 5:48 p.m. 

There is no low pressure area or cloud cluster inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), Badrina said.

However, PAGASA is still monitoring Typhoon Bualoi, formerly called Opong when it was still inside the PAR. Opong exited PAR on Saturday. It has no direct effect anymore on the country.

At 3 a.m. on Sunday, Bualoi was monitored to be at 1,075 km west of Northern Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 120 km/h and gustiness of up to 150 km/h.

Bualoi is moving west northwestward at 25 km/h and is expected to make landfall over Vietnam. —KG, GMA Integrated News
