MANILA – The weather bureau said no tropical cyclone is expected throughout the Holy Week but easterlies will bring rains over parts of the archipelago on Tuesday.

"We do not see any weather disturbance entering the country until the end of Holy Week," Benison Estareja of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

PAGASA forecast scattered rains and thunderstorms over the Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, and Quezon.

Moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides.

Estareja, meanwhile, advised the public to bring an umbrella, as rain showers are likely due to the easterlies.

Most areas in Luzon may experience rain showers in the afternoon, he said.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas continue to prevail over the northern and eastern sections of the country.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate coastal waters.

The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 25°C to 33°C; Baguio City, 16°C to 26°C; Laoag City, 24°C to 33°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 30°C; Metro Cebu, 25°C to 32°C; Puerto Princesa City, 26°C to 33°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 34°C. (PNA)
