MANILA – The northeast monsoon (amihan) will continue to affect Luzon on Sunday, December 28, 2025, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, particularly in the northern and eastern sections, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). The rest of the country will experience generally fair weather with possible isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized conditions.
Detailed Forecast for Sunday
- Northern Luzon (Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao): Cloudy skies with light rains.
- Rest of Luzon (including Metro Manila): Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.
- Visayas and Mindanao: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms (afternoon/evening possible).
No gale warnings are in effect, but moderate to rough seas may affect northern and eastern coastal areas—caution advised for small seacraft.
Temperatures remain cooler in the north due to amihan, with Baguio City expected at 15-23°C and Metro Manila 23-31°C. The system is forecast to persist through early January, gradually weakening mid-week.
This typical post-Christmas amihan pattern offers pleasant cool mornings for Luzon—ideal for late holiday outings—with minimal disruption elsewhere.
