MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon (locally known as amihan) will intensify in the coming days, triggering rains along the eastern section of the country, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

In an announcement Saturday, SSS said the new OIC succeeded its former president, Rolando Ledesma Macasaet, who resigned on October 3 to run for a House seat under the SSS-GSIS Pensyonado Partylist.

Pagasa announced the onset of the amihan season last Nov. 19. The monsoon typically ends in the following March or April.

“Magdadala ito ng bahagyang malamig na panahon sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon. Ine-expect natin na sa mga susunod na araw ay magiging mataas din ang tsantsa ng pag-ulan sa silangang bahagi ng ating bansa; dulot ‘yan ng amihan at ng shear line,” she added.

(This will bring slightly cooler weather to most parts of Luzon. In the coming days, we also expect a higher chance of rain in the eastern parts of the country, caused by the northeast monsoon and the shear line.)

A shear line occurs when cold winds from the northeast monsoon converge with warm winds from the easterlies or the Pacific Ocean.

Pagasa added that it is not monitoring any new low pressure areas within or near the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), nor has it issued any gale warnings over the country’s seaboards.

However, Castañeda warned, “Sa mga susunod na araw kung saan ine-expect natin na posibleng maging mas malakas yung amihan, continuous monitoring tayo… sa posibilidad… [na] maging katamtaman hanggang sa maalon yung lagay ng mga dagat-baybayin natin dito sa area ng Northern Luzon.”
