Weather Today – January 31, 2018

The weather will generally be fair on the last of day of January as the country remains storm-free. However, PAGASA is not dismissing the possibility of possible rains due to the prevailing Northeast Monsoon or Hanging Amihan.

Hanging Amihan, characterized by cold and dry air from Mainland China or Siberia, continues to affect the northern and central parts of Luzon. Cloudy skies with scattered rains will be experienced in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Cagayan Valley and the province of Aurora.

Meanwhile, Ilocos Region and the rest of Central Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

The surge of Amihan will also cause rough to very rough sea conditions in the northern, eastern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are not allowed to sail as wave height could reach 4.5 meters.

February Overview
With less than 24 hours before we enter the month of February, PAGASA Weather Forecaster shared the weather systems that are expected to prevail. Hanging Amihan will continue to peak, bringing cooler weather and light rains mostly in Luzon.

The Easterlies, Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), Low Pressure Area (LPA) and Tropical Cyclone are also expected to dump rains and thunderstorms. An average number of 0 to 1 Tropical Cyclone is expected to exist within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
