Warm and humid mornings with chances of rain showers will prevail over the entire country in the next two to three days due to the persistence of an anti-cyclone weather system.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration weather specialist Gener Quitlong said they do not see the formation or entry of a low-pressure area or tropical cyclone inside the country until mid-week.
The ridge of high-pressure area, an anti-cyclone weather system, will bring warm weather apart from isolated rain showers throughout the country, he said.
However, PAGASA advised the public that rains, especially during severe thunderstorms, could trigger possible flash floods or landslides over low-lying and mountainous areas.
Meanwhile, due to lack of rains, Angat Dam’s water level further declined yesterday.
PAGASA monitoring showed Angat Dam water level down to 161.22 meters yesterday morning from 161.45 meters last Saturday.
It is above the 160-meter critical level but still way below its 180-meter minimum operating level and 210-meter normal high water level.
The National Water Resources Board expects water supply to normalize during the peak of the southwest monsoon or “habagat” season between July and September but the public is still encouraged to continue conserving water to help in the Angat reservoir’s water level recovery. (Ellalyn Ruiz)
