WEATHER UPDATE — According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the Low-Pressure Area (LPA) being monitored near Mindanao has fully dissipated. At the moment, the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) and the shear line bring rains over the country.

The LPA being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has finally dissipated. As a result, Mindao is forecast to have fair weather for the rest of the day.

On the other hand, the Northeast Monsoon continues to bring light rains and colder weather over northern Luzon while the shear line brings rain over Visayas.

Besides the cloud clusters near Mindanao, the weather agency is currently not monitoring any LPA near the PAR.

DOST-PAGASA Weather Specialist Benison Estareja also reports no tropical cyclone is expected over the weekend until the end of January.
