MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon, locally known as the “amihan,” will bring light rains in Cagayan and northern Luzon, while the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather with chances of localized thunderstorms on Tuesday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Mararamdaman na ang amihan dito sa lalawigan ng Cagayan bukod pa sa dulong bahagi ng Hilagang Luzon, generally maaliwalas ang panahon maliban na lang sa ilang pulo-pulong mahinang pagulan na inaasahan sa mga nabanggit na lugar,” said Pagasa senior weather specialist Chris Perez.
(The northeast monsoon will now be felt here in Cagayan province apart from the far part of Northern Luzon, the weather is generally clear except for a few isolated light rain that is expected in the aforementioned areas.)
“Sa natitirang bahagi ng Luzon mainit [at] medyo maalinsangan, maliban na lang sa ilang isolated rain showers na dulot ng localized thunderstorms,” he added.
(The rest of Luzon is hot and somewhat humid, with the exception of a few isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.)
The same weather will prevail over Visayas, as well as most parts of Mindanao — eastern Mindanao, however, will experience cloudier skies and with isolated rain showers.
Forecasted temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa:
Metro Manila: 24 to 33 degrees Celsius
Baguio City: 16 to 25 degrees Celsius
Laoag City: 24 to 33 degrees Celsius
Tuguegarao: 22 to 32 degrees Celsius
Legazpi City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius
Puerto Princesa City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
Tagaytay: 22 to 29 degrees Celsius
Kalayaan Islands: 26 to 33 degrees Celsius

Tacloban City: 25 to 31 degrees Celsius
Cagayan De Oro City: 25 to 31 degrees Celsius
Zamboanga City: 24 to 4 degrees Celsius
Davao City: 25 to 31 degrees Celsius
Due to the effects of the “amihan,” gale warning is currently raised in the seaboards of Batanes, and Ilocos Norte, as well as the northern coast of Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands.
“Hangga’t maaari wag muna pumalaot dito ang kababayan nating mangingisda at may mga maliliit na sasakyang pandagat,” said Perez.
(As much as possible, fishermen and small fishing boats should are not allowed to sail here in these areas.)
