MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon, or amihan, may bring rains over Luzon, while the easterlies may affect the rest of the country on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the state weather bureau said.

In its 5 a.m. weather forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said cloudy skies with rains may prevail over Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon and Camarines Norte due to the northeast monsoon.

The amihan may also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

Meanwhile, the easterlies may cause cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Mindanao, Eastern Visayas and Central Visayas.

Palawan, Masbate and the rest of Visayas may also experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the easterlies.

“The two weather systems expected to bring rain are the northeast monsoon, which is prevailing across Luzon, and the easterlies, affecting the Visayas and Mindanao,” Pagasa weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said.

As of 3 a.m., Typhoon Cempaka, formerly Samuel, was located 2,440 kilometers (km) east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon, outside the Philippine area of responsibility.
