MANILA – Parts of the Philippines will continue to experience rain showers as the easterlies and the northeast monsoon, or “amihan,” affect different regions, according to the weather bureau.
Rhea Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that while the northeast monsoon will bring light rains to some areas in Luzon, the easterlies will cause warm temperatures across a majority of the country.
Weather Outlook:
The easterlies will also trigger scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Mindanao. PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rains could lead to flash floods or landslides.
The northeast monsoon will bring light rains to Batanes, Cagayan, and Apayao, with isolated light showers expected in the Ilocos Region.
The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
Temperature Forecast:
In Metro Manila, temperatures could reach up to 33°C, while in Laoag, Tuguegarao, and Legazpi, it may reach 31°C. In Iloilo, Kalayaan Islands, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban, and Davao, temperatures will peak at 32°C, while Zamboanga may experience up to 33°C.
Coastal and Wind Conditions:
Moderate to strong winds, along with moderate to rough seas, will prevail over Northern Luzon and the eastern section of Mindanao. Elsewhere, winds will remain light to moderate, with light to moderate seas, PAGASA reported.
No low-pressure areas are currently being monitored inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
