MANILA – The northeast monsoon and easterlies will bring cloudy skies and scattered rains across much of the Philippines, according to the latest weather update Saturday (01 Feb 2025) from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In its 4 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA forecasted cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms for Bicol and Quezon, influenced by the easterlies. Cagayan Valley and Aurora will also experience cloudy skies and rain, but due to the northeast monsoon.
The weather bureau warned of potential flash floods and landslides in these areas, as moderate to heavy rainfall is expected.
Metro Manila, Ilocos, Cordillera, and parts of Central Luzon will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, also driven by the northeast monsoon.
The rest of the country can expect partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms from the easterlies.
PAGASA also noted moderate to strong winds and rough seas over Northern and Central Luzon, while the rest of the archipelago will experience lighter winds and moderate seas.

MANILA – Cloudy skies with rains are expected across the country due to the combined effects of easterlies and the northeast monsoon, or “amihan,” according to PAGASA’s 4 a.m. bulletin on Sunday.
Caraga, the Davao Region, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by easterlies. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will feel cooler temperatures with partly cloudy to cloudy skies and isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon.
The rest of the country can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, also brought by the easterlies.
Northern and central Luzon will experience moderate to strong northeast winds, resulting in moderate coastal waters. Temperatures will range from 22.2°C to 31.6°C.
Stay updated on weather conditions and prepare for possible rains in affected areas.

MANILA – The northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” will affect parts of Luzon on Sunday (19 Jan 2025), bringing cloudy skies and rainfall, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In its 24-hour forecast, PAGASA reported that the provinces of Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains due to the amihan. The weather bureau has cautioned that these conditions could lead to flash floods and landslides, particularly in low-lying and mountainous areas.
In Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail, with isolated light rains also attributed to the northeast monsoon. However, PAGASA indicated that these areas are not expected to face any significant weather impacts.
Elsewhere in the country, including the Visayas and Mindanao, conditions will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, driven by the easterlies. These localized weather events may also trigger flash floods or landslides, particularly during intense thunderstorms.
Wind conditions will range from moderate to strong in Northern Luzon and the eastern parts of Central and Southern Luzon, with winds coming from the east to northeast. Coastal waters in these regions are expected to be moderate to rough, with wave heights reaching 2.1 to 3.4 meters, posing a risk to small seacrafts.
In the rest of the country, light to moderate winds are expected, with coastal waters remaining slight to moderate, providing safer conditions for maritime activities.

MANILA — The northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” continues to impact Northern Luzon, while the easterlies prevail over the rest of the country, maintaining cloudy conditions with isolated rain showers, according to the latest bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA said Batanes and the Babuyan Islands would experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon. The “amihan” is expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, as well as the rest of Cagayan Valley.
Simultaneously, the Bicol Region will encounter cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms attributed to the easterlies. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA has issued a cautionary note, warning that severe thunderstorms could lead to flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas. Luzon and the eastern sections of the Visayas are forecasted to experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while the rest of the archipelago will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
Temperature ranges for selected areas include Metro Manila (23°C to 31°C), Baguio City (17°C to 26°C), Laoag City (24°C to 32°C), Legazpi City (25°C to 29°C), Metro Cebu (25°C to 31°C), Puerto Princesa City (27°C to 32°C), and Metro Davao (25°C to 33°C).

MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected over Metro Manila on All Saints’ Day.
This weather phenomenon is attributed to a low-pressure area (LPA) and a shear line.
In its 4 a.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA stated that the LPA over the coastal waters of Caramoran, Catanduanes, in combination with the shear line affecting the eastern sections of Northern and Central Luzon, will also bring cloudy conditions and scattered rains to mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Bulacan, Calabarzon, Marinduque, and Camarines Norte.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” is affecting the rest of Northern and Central Luzon, resulting in cloudy skies with rains over the Cordillera region, Nueva Ecija, and the remaining areas of Cagayan Valley.
The Ilocos region and the rest of Central Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rain showers.
In other regions, such as the Visayas, Mindanao, the remainder of Mimaropa, and the Bicol region, partly cloudy to cloudy skies are expected with isolated rains or thunderstorms, largely due to localized thunderstorm activity.
Here are the expected temperature ranges for some key areas:
Metro Manila: 25°C to 31°C
Baguio City: 16°C to 24°C
Laoag City: 23°C to 34°C
Legazpi City: 25°C to 30°C
Metro Cebu: 26°C to 32°C
Puerto Princesa City: 26°C to 31°C
Metro Davao: 25°C to 34°C

MANILA — The interaction between a shear line impacting Central Luzon and a northeasterly wind pattern affecting Northern Luzon is expected to result in partially cloudy skies with isolated rainfall across most areas of the Philippines, according to the latest report from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released on Friday (20 Oct 2023).
The shear line is the weather system formed when cold and warm winds converge.
PAGASA’s 4 a.m. weather bulletin indicates that Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Apayao, and Kalinga should anticipate overcast conditions with showers due to the influence of the northeasterly wind flow. In the Ilocos region, as well as the rest of the Cordillera region and Cagayan Valley, the prevailing weather will be a mix of partly cloudy to cloudy skies with sporadic light rain.
For Metro Manila and the remainder of the country, the forecast calls for partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, primarily attributed to the shear line and localized thunderstorms, as per PAGASA.
Expect moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters in Luzon, while the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions.
The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 24°C to 29°C; Baguio City, 17°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 31°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 33°C.
