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).

MANILA – Most parts of the country will experience rain on Tuesday, January 28, due to three weather systems, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms brought by the shear line are forecast in the Visayas, Palawan, and Dinagat Islands. The rest of Mindanao will also see scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
Meanwhile, rains caused by the northeast monsoon or “amihan” will affect Batanes, Cagayan, and Isabela. These areas may experience moderate to heavy rainfall, which could trigger flash floods or landslides, PAGASA warned.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon.
No low-pressure area is currently being monitored for potential tropical cyclone development, PAGASA added.
Strong to gale-force winds and rough to very rough seas are expected over Northern Luzon, making sea travel risky for small vessels. Mariners are advised to stay in port or seek safe harbor. Moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough seas are forecast in Central Luzon, while the rest of the country will have light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas.
Stay updated for further weather advisories.

PAGASA is currently monitoring three weather systems beyond the boundaries of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). In its 4 a.m. weather update on Sunday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported the following:
- Typhoon Koinu, previously known as Jenny, is nearly stationary and positioned 725 km west of the extreme Northern Luzon. It boasts maximum sustained winds of 155 kph and gusts of up to 190 kph.
- Tropical Storm Bolaven (international name) is situated 3,045 km east of the Visayas, moving slowly westward with maximum sustained winds of 65 kph and gusts of 80 kph.
- An area of low pressure (LPA) was detected 1,845 km east of the Visayas as of 3 a.m. Sunday.
PAGASA clarified that these three weather systems currently do not have any direct impact on any part of the Philippines. The weather outlook for Metro Manila and the rest of the country includes partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, attributed to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” and localized thunderstorms.
Northern and Central Luzon, along with the western section of Southern Luzon, can expect light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to southeast, with slight to moderate coastal waters. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds heading northeast to northwest, also with slight to moderate sea conditions.
Temperature-wise, the range is expected to be between 24.6°C and 32.7°C.
