MANILA – The northeast monsoon or “amihan” continues to affect parts of Northern Luzon, bringing light to moderate rains, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Forecaster Rhea Torres reported that while the shear line caused heavy rains in recent days, it will not affect any part of the country on Thursday (26 Dec 2024).

However, its influence is expected to return by Friday and persist over the next few days.

The rest of the country may experience isolated thunderstorms, but no low-pressure area (LPA) is being monitored inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), Torres added.
