A weak northeast monsoon or ‘hanging amihan’ will still continue to bring colder days in some parts of Northern Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
State weather forecaster Ana Clauren Jordan said ‘amihan’ winds are getting weaker and may only affect extreme Northern Luzon within the week.
She said PAGASA is likely to declare the onset of the southwest monsoon or “hanging habagat” within the week.
The weather bureau said three weather systems are affecting the country on (Monday).
An intertropical convergence zone prevails over Southern Mindanao, while the northeast monsoon is dominant in Northern Luzon. The easterlies will bring rains to several regions across the country.
