On Thursday (February 15, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The easterlies will affect the country’s weather conditions.

The northeast monsoon will bring overcast skies with some isolated light rains expected in the evening over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region.
Cloudy skies are expected over the rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila although rainfall is not expected.
“In the remaining parts of Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and Mimaropa, the chance of rain remains low, including Metro Manila,” Estareja said.

The easterlies and localized thunderstorms will bring sunny weather with chances of light rains in the evening and early morning over the rest of Visayas and Mindanao.
The weather agency advised the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
