IN TRANSITION | Scorching heat expected to end later this month

MANILA - The scorching heat of the past few weeks is expected to end later this month as the wet season begins, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Sunday.

Weather forecaster Jori Loiz said the country is now in a transition period from the dry to rainy season.

At the same time, whole country will continue to experience a mixture of sunny and rainy weather due to localized thunderstorms, Pagasa said.

Loiz said the easterlies or warm winds from the east contribute to the easy formation of thunderstorm clouds or the cumulonimbus clouds. Since the easterlies are “warm,” the convective activity brought about by its intense heat triggers the formation of cumulonimbus clouds.

He explained that its “rich in moisture” quality also contribute in the formation of thunderstorm clouds.

Loiz said the whole country except Davao region will have cloudy skies until Tuesday with light to moderate rainshowers. The rest of the country including Metro Manila will have sunny to partly cloudy skies with possible isolated rains in the afternoon and evening due to evaporation or localized thunderstorms.

Loiz said the onset of the rainy season happens around the last week of May to first week of June.

However, he noted that during the early part of the month, warm temperature will continue to prevail in the country.

Hotter until then

He said the weather bureau expects temperatures to further rise in the coming days as summer season peaks.

He noted that dry season usually peaks during early part of May.

“Usually, it is during early May that we record the highest temperatures in the country,” he said.

For the next two weeks, the temperatures in Metro Manila could peak between 36 to 37 degrees Celsius while in Tuguegarao afternoon temperature is expected to range from 37 to 39 degrees.

So far, the hottest temperature recorded in Metro Manila for this year was at 36.6 degrees Celsius last April 19.

Echague, Isabela still holds the hottest weather for this year nationwide at 39.6 degrees Celsius recorded last April 6.

Loiz also said the country is also expected to be storm-free for the next two days, until Tuesday.

However, he noted that Pagasa is expecting one to two storms to affect the country this month.
