By October, the prevailing weather system is expected to shift to northeast monsoon or “hanging amihan” which brings cool winds. It is usually identified with the Christmas season.
Rains and thunderstorms will continue in most parts of the country even as the low pressure area moved away from the Philippines.

The LPA was last observed 140 kilometers north of Puerto Princesa City.
