MANILA, Philippines — Generally fair weather will prevail in the country, while most parts of Luzon may experience cloudy skies and light rain due to the northeast monsoon or “amihan,” the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Friday.
Weather specialist Grace Castañeda said that no weather disturbance will be experienced for the rest of the day.
“Sa kasalukuyan ay northeast monsoon pa rin ang umiiral dito sa bahagi ng Luzon wala tayo gaanong kaulapan na nakakaapekto dito sa ating bansa maliban na lamang yan sa ilang bahagi ng northern Luzon kung saan makakaranas pa rin ng maulap na kalangitan at mga pag-ulan na dulot ng amihan,” said weather specialist Grace Castañeda.
(The northeast monsoon continues to prevail in Luzon. The cloudy weather and light rain will not affect other parts of the country but will primarily affect northern Luzon.)
She added that fair weather might prevail throughout the country over the weekend.
However, the agency warned fisherfolk of high waves brought by amihan in some coastal waters located in northern parts of Luzon.
It raised a gale warning in Batanes, Cagayan (including the Babuyan Islands), Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and La Union.
