Weather Today – December 2, 2017 Storm-free Weekend

The country remains storm-free as we welcome the first weekend of December 2017.

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Chris Perez, two tropical cyclones usually visit the country this month. Based on climatological records, weather disturbances frequently hit Visayas or Mindanao area at this time of year.

Despite the absence of a tropical cyclone today, rains will still affect some areas.

The Tail-End of a Cold Front brings rains in Extreme Northern Luzon, while Easterlies dampen the eastern section of the country. Throughout the day, Batanes and the Babuyan Group of Islands, Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region and the provinces of Cagayan, Aurora and Quezon will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. In the rest of the country, including Metro Manila Metro Manila, a generally fair weather will prevail but isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are possible.

With the surge of Amihan, the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon will experience rough to very rough sea conditions. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea, while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves in Batanes, the Babuyan Group of Islands, Ilocos Sur, the northern coast of Cagayan, as well as the northern and western coast of Ilocos Norte.
