The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that easterlies continue to affect the entire country on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. These warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean are influencing the current weather pattern, bringing generally fair conditions with chances of localized rain showers, particularly in the afternoon or evening.
Weather Conditions Across the Country
Metro Manila and the rest of the Philippines can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. While much of the day may remain warm and humid, residents are advised to stay alert for sudden downpours caused by localized thunderstorms.
Although no widespread heavy rainfall is expected, PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms may still trigger possible flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas. Communities near rivers, low-lying zones, and mountainous regions should remain cautious, especially during intense rainfall episodes.
As of 2:00 AM today, February 25, 2026, PAGASA confirmed that there are no Low Pressure Areas (LPA) being monitored for tropical cyclone formation within the Philippine Area of Responsibility. This means no storm threats are currently developing, offering some relief to disaster response agencies and residents.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions
For the northern and eastern sections of the country, moderate winds blowing from the east to northeast will prevail. Coastal waters in these areas are expected to be moderate, with wave heights ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 meters. Fisherfolk operating small seacraft are advised to exercise caution, particularly when venturing into open waters.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds coming from the northeast to east. Coastal waters will be slightly to moderately rough, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 2.1 meters, generally favorable for sea travel but still requiring vigilance.
Temperature and Humidity
For the 24 hours ending at 8:00 PM yesterday, the minimum temperature recorded was 23.0°C at 5:00 AM, while the maximum temperature reached 30.6°C at 2:00 PM. Relative humidity ranged from a low of 64 percent at 2:00 PM to a high of 80 percent at 5:00 AM, reflecting the warm and moist conditions associated with easterlies.
PAGASA continues to monitor weather developments and advises the public to stay updated through official bulletins and local government advisories.
