Amihan, easterlies to dampen areas of Philippines
By J.Lo
Eastern Visayas, Sorsogon and Masbate are expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms brought about by easterlies.
State weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported northeast monsoon or amihan will affect Northern and Central Luzon while easterlies will prevail over rest of archipelago on Wednesday.
PAGASA warned of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains in these regions.
Aurora and Northern Quezon are forecasted to have cloudy skies with light rains due to the northeast monsoon, although no significant impact is expected.
Meanwhile, Cagayan Valley, Apayao, and Kalinga will experience cloudy skies with rains as result of northeast monsoon.
In Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon and CALABARZON, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are anticipated due to northeast monsoon. No significant impact is expected in these areas.
For the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are forecasted due to easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Wind conditions will vary, with Northern Luzon experiencing strong winds moving northeastward, resulting in rough coastal waters.
Rest of the country will encounter light to moderate winds in the same direction, leading to slight to moderate coastal waters.
Baguio City residents woke up to very cold morning on Saturday as temperatures dropped further below 10°C, according to PAGASA.
“City of Pines” recorded 9.8°C on Saturday at around 6:30 in the morning, the lowest temperature recorded so far this year.
This surpassed 10.8°C earlier recorded at BSU, La Trinidad in Benguet Province on January 17.
Here are the top 10 lowest temperatures recorded on Saturday as of 8 in the morning.:
- Baguio City, Benguet: 09.8°C
- Basco, Batanes: 15.7°C
- Laoag City, Ilocos Norte: 16.2°C
- Malaybalay, Bukidnon: 17.0°C
- Munoz, Nueva Ecija: 17.2°C
- Tuguegarao City, Cagayan: 17.6°C
- Tanay, Rizal: 17.7°C
- Abucay, Bataan: 18.2°C
- Casiguran, Aurora: 18.4°C
- Sinait, Ilocos Sur: 18.5°C
“Because of gusts brought by Northeast Monsoon, we could possibly report record lows in our minimum temperature,” said DOST-PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James Villamil.
“Based on our latest observed temperatures in wee hours of the morning, we could record minimum temperature of 19°C in Metro Manila.”
Cordilleran weather, however, is still higher than coldest temperature ever recorded in Philippine history, which was at 6.3°C also in Baguio City.
