MANILA — The Northeast Monsoon continues to affect Extreme Northern Luzon, while easterly winds bring varying weather conditions across other parts of the Philippines.
Areas including Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Dinagat Islands will see cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the easterlies. Rainfall may become moderate to heavy at times, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides.
In Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, the northeast monsoon will bring partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with occasional light rains, although no major weather disturbances are expected.
Elsewhere, including Metro Manila, the weather will remain generally fair to partly cloudy, with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms possible. Strong thunderstorms could still lead to localized flooding or landslides in vulnerable areas.
Wind and Sea Outlook
Extreme Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong northeast winds, with coastal waters ranging from moderate to rough (1.5 to 3.7 meters).
The rest of Luzon, as well as Visayas and Mindanao, will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas between 0.6 and 2.5 meters.
Temperature Record
According to observations from the PAGASA station in Quezon City, the highest temperature over the past 24 hours reached 32.6°C, while the lowest temperature was 23°C.
Relative humidity varied from 85 percent in the morning to 55 percent around midday.
