PAGASA Says Amihan to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the northeast monsoon will bring clouds and rains over parts of the country.
On Monday (January 20, 2025), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The northeast monsoon will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina reported that the Northeast Monsoon is affecting Northern and Central Luzon on Monday and will bring clouds and rains. Cloudy skies with rains are expected over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon.
The easterlies will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Dinagat Islands, and Davao Oriental.
“Ito easterlies ay magdadala ng mga kaulapan na magdadala ng malaking tsansa ng mga pag-ulan at maulap na kalangitan, partikular na silangang bahagi ng Mindanao, ‘yung area ng Caraga at Davao region,” Badrina said.
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are expected over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. The easterlies will bring similar weather conditions over the rest of the country.
“Ito northeast monsoon ang magdadala ng maulap na kalangitan na may mahihinang pag-ulan, partikular na sa may bahagi ng eastern section ng Northern and Central Luzon. Ito ‘yung area ng Cagayan Valley region, gayon din sa Aurora at Quezon,” Badrina explained.
The weather agency has 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 or severe thunderstorms.
No low-pressure area is being monitored inside or outside the country’s vicinity. “Wala tayong namo-monitor na anumang low-pressure area sa loob at labas ng Philippine area of responsibility sa kasalukuyan,” Bardina added.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over Northern Luzon will be moderate to rough. The remaining parts of the country will have slight to moderate waters, according to PAGASA.
