The latest weather forecast, issued at 4:00 PM on January 22, 2024, provides valuable insights into the prevailing weather conditions across the Philippines. The key factor influencing the weather is the Northeast Monsoon, particularly affecting Northern Luzon. Let’s delve into the forecast for different regions, including expected weather conditions, causes, and potential impacts.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and Quezon are expected to experience cloudy skies with light rains. These conditions are attributed to the Northeast Monsoon. Fortunately, there are no significant impacts anticipated, ensuring a relatively stable weather pattern in this region.
Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and the rest of CALABARZON are expected to witness partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, also influenced by the Northeast Monsoon. Similar to Northern Luzon, there are no significant impacts expected in these areas, providing a mild and comfortable weather outlook.
The rest of the country can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. Localized Thunderstorms are identified as the cause, posing a potential risk of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms. Residents in these areas are advised to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions during adverse weather conditions.
Northern Luzon is expected to experience strong winds from the Northeast, leading to rough coastal waters with waves ranging from 2.8 to 4.0 meters. In contrast, the rest of the country can expect moderate to strong winds from the East to Northeast, resulting in moderate to rough coastal waters with waves ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 meters.
While no significant impacts are expected in most areas, preparedness remains key to mitigating potential risks. Stay safe and be weather-aware as we navigate through the varied conditions across the Philippines.
