MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced on Sunday that the northeast monsoon, locally known as 'amihan', along with the easterlies, will continue to influence weather conditions across the country.
According to Philippines News Agency, areas in northern Luzon, especially Cagayan Valley and Apayao, are expected to experience cloudy skies with light rains due to the 'amihan'.
The bulletin further indicated that the rest of the Cordillera Administrative Region and Aurora would see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, attributed to the northeast monsoon's effects. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the remainder of the Philippines will encounter partly cloudy to cloudy skies, accompanied by isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, a result of the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA also warned that the northern and eastern sections of the country would face moderate to rough seas, driven by moderate to strong winds blowing from the east to the northeast. Conversely, other areas of the Philippines are expected to experience light to moderate winds coming from the northeast direction, leading to slight to moderate sea conditions.
Temperature forecasts for various cities across the country were provided, including Metro Manila, where temperatures are expected to range from 22°C to 32°C. Other notable forecasts include Baguio City with temperatures between 15°C to 24°C, Laoag City from 23°C to 29°C, Legazpi City from 24°C to 32°C, Metro Cebu from 26°C to 30°C, Puerto Princesa City from 25°C to 32°C, and Metro Davao from 24°C to 33°C.
