MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon or “amihan” may bring in cooler weather in the following days, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Wednesday.
According to Pagasa, the northeast monsoon will cause cloudy skies and rain in Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region, Aurora, and Quezon.
“Muling umiiiral ang northeast monsoon o hanging amihan. Ito nga po ay nakaka-apekto sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon para sa araw na ito kaya asahan natin sa mga susunod na araw, lalakas muli itong northeast monsoon kaya posibleng makakaramdam tayo muli ng malalamig na panahon,” said Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina.
(The northeast monsoon or amihan is again prevailing. It will affect a large part of Luzon for this day so expect that in the coming days, the northeast monsoon will get stronger and we may feel cooler weather again).
