MANILA — Easterlies and the northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” are expected to bring partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers across the Philippines, according to the weather bulletin released by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Friday at 4 a.m.
The northeast monsoon will affect Northern and Central Luzon, resulting in partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms. PAGASA warns that severe thunderstorms may lead to flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters are expected over Northern Luzon, the eastern sections of Central and Southern Luzon, and Eastern Visayas. The remaining parts of the archipelago will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
Temperature ranges for the day are as follows: Metro Manila (25°C to 31°C), Baguio City (16°C to 24°C), Laoag City (23°C to 34°C), Legazpi City (26°C to 31°C), Metro Cebu (25°C to 32°C), Puerto Princesa City (25°C to 33°C), and Metro Davao (25°C to 34°C).
