Fair weather prevailed over much of the Philippines, including Metro Manila, on Sunday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In its 5 a.m. forecast, the state weather bureau reported that cloud cover remained minimal across large parts of the archipelago, signaling generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Luzon experienced mostly clear skies during the day, with only limited chances of localized thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon or evening. Metro Manila remained under similar conditions.
Pagasa also reported that no low pressure area or tropical cyclone was being monitored within or near the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), lowering the risk of widespread rain events.
Despite the generally fair conditions, the weather bureau noted that easterly winds could still trigger isolated rain showers in some areas of the country.
Fair weather over Luzon was expected to continue until Thursday, based on current forecasts and prevailing weather patterns.
By Wednesday, however, the influence of the northeast monsoon was expected to gradually intensify, with Palawan identified as the area most likely to experience thunderstorms. Other parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila, were still expected to have generally fair weather with occasional light rain.
Earlier projections from Pagasa indicated that zero to one tropical cyclone could enter or form within the PAR in March, suggesting limited storm activity for the remainder of the month.
