The northern regions of the Philippines are expected to experience varying weather conditions due to the influence of the Northeast Monsoon. Cloudy skies accompanied by light rains are anticipated over the provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, and Aurora.
Simultaneously, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are forecasted over Mountain Province, Ifugao, Abra, Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan. These atmospheric changes are characteristic of the Northeast Monsoon, which brings cooler and moist air from the Siberian High, influencing the weather patterns in the region.
Residents and travelers in Northern Luzon and Aurora Province should also be prepared for moderate to strong winds blowing from the Northeast. These winds, associated with the Northeast Monsoon, can bring a chill to the air and may affect outdoor activities. Additionally, the coastal waters in these areas are expected to be moderate to very rough, emphasizing the need for caution among maritime communities.
This weather advisory underscores the importance of staying updated with local forecasts and adhering to safety guidelines, especially for those engaged in marine activities in the affected areas.
