MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” will bring rain over parts of northern Luzon on Tuesday, while the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Mararamdaman pa rin ang epekto ng amihan bukas sa northern Luzon area. Sa dulong hilagang Luzon maulap may mga mahinang pagulan,” said Pagasa senior weather specialist Chris Perez.

(The effects of the northeast monsoon will still be felt tomorrow in the northern Luzon area. In far northern Luzon it will be cloudy with light rains.)

“At sa natitirang bahagi ng northern Luzon generally maaliwalas ang panahon maliban na lang sa mahinang pag-ulan,” Perez added.

(And in the rest of Northern Luzon, the weather is generally clear except for light rains.)

Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather with hot and humid conditions as well as isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.

Below are the temperature range in key cities/areas according to Pagasa for Tuesday:

• Metro Manila: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Baguio City: 16 to 25 degrees Celsius
• Laoag City:  23 to 33 degrees Celsius
• Tuguegarao: 23 to 31 degrees Celsius
• Legazpi City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Puerto Princesa City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Tagaytay: 22 to 30 degrees Celsius
• Kalayaan Islands: 27 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Iloilo City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Cebu: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Tacloban City: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius
• Cagayan De Oro City: 24 to 31 degrees Celsius
• Zamboanga City: 24 to 34 degrees Celsius
• Davao City: 26 to 33 degrees Celsius

Due to the presence of “amihan,” gale warning is raised in the seaboards of Luzon, specifically in Batanes, Babuyan, Cagayan and Ilocos Norte.

Moderate to rough seas are then expected in the remaining seaboards of Luzon, while the rest of the country’s coasts and in-land seas will experience slight to moderate sea conditions.
