Public Weather Forecast issued at 4AM | December 06, 2024 - Friday

Summary

The weather in the Philippines is influenced by two major weather systems: the northeast monsoon and the sheer line. The monsoon affects the northern part of Luzon, causing cloudy skies and light rain, while the sheer line brings thunderstorms to parts of Northern Luzon and the Visayas. No major storms are expected in the next five days, though there is a possibility of a low-pressure area forming in the southeast. Isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are forecasted for various regions, with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 34°C. The weekend will see continued rain, especially in the northern and eastern parts of the country, so carrying an umbrella is advised.
