Amihan brings partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains in N. Luzon

MANILA, Philippines — Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains on Tuesday due to the northeast monsoon or amihan, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

In a weather forecast issued by Pagasa at 4 a.m., weather specialist Meno Mendoza said the northeast monsoon is affecting northern Luzon while the easterlies or warm winds coming from the Pacific Ocean are affecting the weather in the rest of the country.

He said there is no low pressure area currently being monitored by Pagasa that could affect the country in the next two to three days.

“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon kasama ang Metro Manila, magiging maaliwalas pa rin ang ating panahon na may posibilidad ng mga panandaliang buhos ng ulan na dulot ng localized thunderstorms lalo na sa silangang bahagi ng Luzon,” Mendoza said.

(For the rest of Luzon including Metro Manila, there will be fair weather with possibility of isolated rainshowers especially over the eastern section due to localized thunderstorms.)

Meanwhile, Visayas will have fair weather with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms as well, while Mindanao will have hot and humid weather with isolated rainshowers possibly occurring in the afternoon or evening.
