WEATHER UPDATE — According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the Northeast Monsoon or Amihan affecting part of Luzon and Visayas is slowly weakening. However, the weather agency clarifies that it is still not the start of the warm, dry season.

Though the Northeast Monsoon continues to affect major parts of Luzon and Visayas, it is relatively weaker than in the previous weeks.

DOST-PAGASA Weather Specialist Benison Estareja clarifies that this does not mean the start of the warm, dry season. The Amihan will continue to affect Luzon and Eastern Visayas until the end of February till March.

No tropical cyclone is expected for the next few days. However, cloud clusters are spotted outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), which may bring isolated rain showers and localized thunderstorms over southern Mindanao by the weekend.
