MANILA — Isolated rain showers are anticipated over certain parts of the Philippines due to the influence of easterlies and the northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In its 4 a.m. bulletin on Friday, PAGASA reported that the northeast monsoon is affecting Northern Luzon, resulting in cloudy skies with light rains over Batanes and Cagayan.
Additionally, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are expected over the Ilocos and Cordillera regions.
For the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, PAGASA forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, attributed to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while the rest of the country will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, as stated by PAGASA.
Temperature ranges for various areas include 23°C to 34°C in Metro Manila, 17°C to 25°C in Baguio City, 22°C to 31°C in Laoag City, 23°C to 32°C in Legazpi City, 26°C to 31°C in Metro Cebu, 25°C to 32°C in Puerto Princesa City, and 25°C to 34°C in Metro Davao.
