MANILA, Philippines—The state-run weather agency said on Sunday that any tropical cyclone is unlikely as generally fair weather would prevail in most parts of the archipelago within this week.
Weather specialist Robert Badrina of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the southwest monsoon locally known as ‘habagat,’ would continue to prevail especially in the western sections of Central and Northern Luzon.
Closely associated with the rainy season, habagat would be particularly affecting Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan where partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms would be possible.

Another weather system, the easterlies – winds coming from the east and passing the Pacific Ocean, carry humid and warm weather – would be experienced over Caraga and Davao Region where cloudy skies with scattered rain showers or thunderstorms would also be likely, the national weather bureau said.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country, meanwhile, would likely have partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated downpours due to localized thunderstorms within 24 hours, it added.
