MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced that Luzon is set to experience light rains on Thursday, courtesy of the northeast monsoon or “amihan” influencing the region.

According to PAGASA’s 5 a.m. weather bulletin, cloudy skies and light rains are anticipated in Cagayan Valley and the provinces of Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes. Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

Easterlies will persist across the rest of the country, leading to the occurrence of isolated rain showers over the Visayas and Mindanao, fueled by a combination of easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

Northern Luzon is projected to experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas. In other areas, PAGASA forecasts light to moderate winds accompanied by slight to moderate seas. Stay tuned for further weather updates as conditions evolve.
