Amihan, easterlies prevail over parts of PH

Cloudy skies with rain showers are expected across parts of the Philippines because of the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) and the easterlies, PAGASA said in its 24-hour weather forecast released on Saturday afternoon.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms brought by the easterlies may prevail over Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, the Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.

The Northeast Monsoon may cause cloudy skies with light rains over Cagayan Valley and Aurora, and partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos Region and Cordillera Administrative Region.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the combined effects of the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao may have moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough seas, while the rest of the country may have light to moderate winds with slight to moderate coastal waters.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 6:24 a.m. on Sunday. – Jiselle Anne Casucian/VBL, GMA Integrated News
