'Amihan' to bring cooler weather to Luzon on Friday – Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Cooler weather will prevail over Luzon on Friday due to the effects of the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Inaasahan natin ang bahagyang paglamig dito sa Luzon area, dahil pa rin sa pagkakaroon ng pagbugso ng amihan na nararanasan ngayon,” said Pagasa weather specialist Raymond Ordinario.
