MANILA — The state-run weather agency revealed Friday afternoon that a low-pressure area (LPA) and six other weather systems are anticipated to influence the Philippines this December or before the year ends.

Additionally, the possibility of one or two tropical cyclones entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) within the month cannot be ruled out, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

The northeast monsoon, locally referred to as “amihan,” is currently bringing overcast skies with light rains specifically to areas in Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, as explained by Pagasa’s weather specialist, Robert Badrina.

Simultaneously, the easterlies are impacting Metro Manila and the rest of the country, where isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may prevail, particularly in the afternoon or at night.

“We could expect another generally fair weather. Based on reports from our various stations all over the country, there was almost no rainfall during the last 24 hours,” noted Badrina.

Apart from the northeast monsoon, easterlies, and LPA, Pagasa identified other weather systems likely to affect the country in December, including the inter-tropical convergence zone, frontal system, shear line, and localized thunderstorms.

The rainfall forecast for the month indicates that below-normal conditions are expected in most parts of Northern and Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Batangas, Cavite, Mindoro, and Palawan. Near-normal rainfall conditions are predicted for the rest of the country.

Looking ahead to the end of December, Pagasa anticipates drought in Cavite, a dry spell in 18 provinces in Luzon, and dry conditions in six other areas.

Overall, Pagasa suggests that near-average to warmer-than-average air temperatures are likely over the country, except in Romblon and General Santos, where slightly cooler-than-average temperatures are expected.
