MANILA, Philippines: The entire country will have warm and humid weather caused by the easterlies, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Tuesday.

Forecaster Benison Estareja said the easterlies, winds coming from the east that pass through the Pacific Ocean and carry warm and humid weather, are particularly affecting the Bicol region, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar and Quezon.

"It would be another generally fair weather in most parts of the country but we could expect scattered rain showers and thunderstorms especially in the afternoon or at night in some areas," Estareja said.

Pagasa said in its 5 a.m. advisory that temperatures will soar until Easter Sunday due to the easterlies.

It added that the easterlies, along with localized thunderstorms, will bring partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated downpours or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
