MANILA – The northeast monsoon (amihan) and easterlies will trigger light rains and isolated thunderstorms across various parts of the country on Saturday, December 27, 2025, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). While no tropical cyclones are monitored, the combined weather systems will produce mostly cloudy conditions with scattered showers, particularly in Luzon and eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao.
PAGASA forecasts:
- Northern and Central Luzon (including Metro Manila): Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to amihan; cooler mornings (22-25°C lows).
- Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao: Partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon or evening from easterlies.
- Extreme Northern Luzon (e.g., Batanes, Cagayan): Possible light to moderate rains.
No gale warnings are issued, but moderate seas along northern and eastern coasts advise caution for small vessels. The setup offers generally fair holiday weekend weather—ideal for outdoor activities—with brief showers possible.
This post-Christmas pattern extends the amihan’s influence, providing cooler relief in the north while easterlies keep the south humid.
