Cloudy skies, rains in parts of PH due to northeast monsoon

MANILA, Philippines – The northeast monsoon or “hanging amihan” will continue to prevail over Luzon while several parts of the country will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains, the state weather bureau said Monday.

“Cagayan Valley and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with light rains. Eastern Visayas will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms,” the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said in its weather bulletin.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country will be partly cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms particularly over Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga and Davao region.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the Northeast will prevail over Luzon and Eastern Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast with slight to moderate seas, Pagasa said.
