Some areas in the province got some relief last week after drizzles trickled down after months of not getting any rain due to El Nino conditions affecting the country.

“The light rains were caused by the tail end of a cold front. It may not last though. We are in for long, dry season,” Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) forecaster Rene Paciente said.

The Pagasa said today's weather will likely be similar to that of yesterday, because of the lingering effect of the cold front in Luzon and Visayas, and absence of the anticyclonic weather system, the high pressure area.

Temperature across the metropolis dropped to 33.5 degrees Celsius Wednesday, still high but not warmer than the 35.8 degrees Celsius experienced last Saturday, the Pagasa said.

The Pagasa earlier warned of extremely hot weather which may impact on health and agriculture in the country.

It said the magnitude of the effects of El Nino can be felt starting next month, when summer season peaks, until early July.

Meanwhile, the Pagasa said Northern Luzon and Eastern sections of Luzon and Visayas should expect mostly cloudy skies with light rains today, while the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy, with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Small seacraft operators in Luzon, Visayas and Eastern Mindanao were advised against moderate or strong winds which may cause moderate to rough waves.
