THE Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported today that the Northeast Monsoon, locally known as “Amihan,” is currently affecting Extreme Northern Luzon, bringing cooler temperatures to the region.
Residents in areas such as Batanes and the Babuyan Islands can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains. While the monsoon is not expected to cause significant disruptions, local authorities advise staying updated on weather conditions, especially for those planning outdoor activities.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country continues to experience the influence of the easterlies—warm and humid winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. This weather pattern is bringing fair weather conditions, with chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon or evening.
PAGASA reminds the public to take precautions against sudden downpours and to stay hydrated during warmer days brought by the easterlies. For updated forecasts and advisories, visit the official PAGASA website or follow their social media channels.
This weather scenario highlights the transition period as the country moves closer to the cooler months, with varying conditions across the archipelago.
