As of 4:00 PM today, February 2, 2024, the weather forecast for various regions in the Philippines indicates a mix of conditions influenced by the Northeast Monsoon and a Low-Pressure Area (LPA). The weather patterns are expected to bring a range of precipitation and wind conditions to different parts of the country.
Northern and Central Luzon: The Northeast Monsoon continues to influence the weather in Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon, bringing cloudy skies with light rains. Fortunately, this weather pattern is not expected to have any significant impact on the affected areas.
In the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon, the weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated light rains, again attributed to the Northeast Monsoon. These conditions are not expected to cause any significant impacts on the region.
Mindanao: The Trough of the Low-Pressure Area (LPA) is affecting Mindanao, resulting in cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Residents in this area should be cautious as moderate to heavy rains may lead to possible flash floods or landslides.
Metro Manila and the Rest of the Country: For Metro Manila and the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected. These localized thunderstorms could potentially bring about flash floods or landslides in severe cases. Residents are advised to stay updated on local weather bulletins and take necessary precautions.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions: The eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will experience moderate to strong winds coming from the east to northeast. Coastal waters in these areas are expected to be moderate to rough, with wave heights ranging from 1.2 to 2.8 meters. Mariners and fisherfolk are advised to exercise caution and take necessary safety measures.
The weather forecast for February 2, 2024, indicates diverse conditions across the Philippines, with the Northeast Monsoon affecting Luzon and the Trough of the LPA influencing Mindanao. Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant, especially in areas prone to flooding or landslides, and to follow official weather advisories for the latest updates on the weather conditions in their region.
