GENERALLY-fair weather is expected over the next 24 hours across the country due to the ridge of the high pressure area (HPA) and easterlies which both bring hot temperatures and warm, humid conditions, the state-run-weather agency said on Wednesday.
Weather forecaster Benison Estareja of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services stressed that there is no summer but only a warm-dry season in the country.Filipinos are used to saying it is the summer season during the months of March, April and May since these are the hottest months in the Philippines.But state meteorologists would always refer to this period as the dry season.
'An opposite of the low pressure area, HPA indicates an area where the atmospheric pressure is higher than its surroundings. Formation of clouds is usually suppressed, thus, less chance of rains,' the state weather bureau said.
