PAGASA Says Expect Cloudy Skies and Scattered Rains This Weekend Due to Easterlies — Davao Region Gets the Worst of It

If you were hoping for clear skies this weekend, PAGASA has other plans. Most of the Philippines will see cloudy skies and scattered rain showers on Saturday due to the easterlies — the prevailing wind system affecting the country this time of year.

Davao Region, Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Sur, South Cotabato, and Sarangani will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms — making these areas the most affected. If you're in Mindanao, keep an umbrella handy and avoid flood-prone areas during heavy downpours.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. Hindi naman full-blown ulan, pero don't leave the house without an umbrella just in case. You know how Philippine weather can change in a snap.

Up north in Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) is still making its presence felt, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains. Winds nationwide will be light to moderate, with slight to moderate coastal waters.

For weekend plans: Metro Manila sunrise is at 6:14 AM and sunset at 6:04 PM. Whether you're heading to Panagbenga in Baguio, watching PBB's Big Night at home, or just running errands — dress for scattered showers and enjoy the slightly cooler-than-usual weather. At least it's not typhoon season.
