Dry season is expected to start this week—PAGASA
Time to keep your sweaters and get ready for warmer days ahead as the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration announced that the northeast monsoon, or amihan, has officially ended.
In a press release, the weather bureau said that the dry season is expected to start this week after the termination of the northeast monsoon.
However, it noted that some areas of Northern Luzon may still experience occasional northeasterly winds.
"With these developments, the day-to-day weather across the country will generally be fair and gradually become warmer, aside from the occurrence of isolated thunderstorms," PAGASA said.
"The public is advised to take precautionary measures to minimize heat stress and optimize the daily use of water for personal and domestic consumption," it added.
PAGASA assured that it will continue to closely monitor the country’s weather and climatic conditions and their potential impacts.
As of March 23, the agency said that no low-pressure areas are being monitored for tropical cyclone formation.
