MANILA, Philippines — The state-run weather agency said on Sunday that the northeast monsoon or ‘amihan’ would continue to prevail at least over the next two to three days in most parts of the archipelago.
Weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said it has not monitored any low-pressure area inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
He said in a 5 a.m. briefing that Bicol Region, Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar would experience cloudy skies with light rain due to amihan.
The same weather system is affecting Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, the rest of Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and Zamboanga Peninsula, where partly cloudy to overcast skies with isolated light rain would occur.
Meanwhile, the rest of Mindanao will likely have partly cloudy skies with rain showers or localized thunderstorms, according to Pagasa.
For the day's heat index, Pagasa said the highest temperature would be in Cotabato City and Maguindanao at 39 degrees Celsius, and 29 to 30 degrees Celsius may be recorded over the National Capital Region in the same period.
