Two weather systems will continue to bring lights rains to Northern and Central Luzon today.

According to PAGASA, the Northeast Monsoon or Amihan has intensified, bringing cloudy skies with light rains in Cordillera, Batanes, Babuyan, Cagayan and Isabela. In Eastern and Central Visayas, Bicol Region, Aurora and Quezon, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced due to the Tail-End of a Cold Front. In Metro Manila, Ilocos Region and the rest of Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will be experienced with light rains. In the remaining parts of the country, generally fair weather will be experienced only with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Because of the surge of Amihan, gale warning is still in effect in the seaboards of Northern Luzon where wave height may reach up to 3.4 to 4.5 meters. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea, while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves in Batanes, Babuyan Group of Islands, Cagayan, the northern and western coasts of Ilocos Norte, the northern coast of Isabela, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Aurora, and the eastern coast of Quezon including Polilio Island.

In an interview with PAGASA Weather Forecaster Mendoza, he said that the country is expected to remain storm-free in the next two to three days.

 
Some areas in Northern and Central Luzon will continue to experience lights rains today.
 
According to PAGASA, the Northeast Monsoon or Amihan prevails in Northern Luzon, bringing cloudy skies with light rains in Cordillera, Batanes, Babuyan, Cagayan and Ilocos Norte. In Isabela, Aurora and Quezon, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced due to the Tail-End of a Cold Front. In the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will be experienced but localized thunderstorms are still possible.
 

 
Because of the surge of Amihan, gale warning is still in effect off the seaboards of Northern Luzon where wave height may reach up to 3.4 to 4.5 meters. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea, while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves in Batanes, the Babuyan Group of Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, the northern and eastern coasts of Cagayan, Isabela.
 
Supermoon brightened the sky
Last night, a larger and brighter moon graced the skies to the delight of selenophiles or moon lovers.
This astronomical event happens when the moon, at a full phase, coincides with the perigee or its closest distance to the Earth. Yesterday, the moon reached its perigee at 4:43 PM and its full phase at 11:47 PM. PAGASA said that the moon appeared 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.
 

The Northeast Monsoon, the cold and dry air from Siberia, is still affecting Northern Luzon, bringing lights rains to the region.

According to PAGASA, Batanes and the Babuyan Group of Islands will continue to experience cloudy skies with light rains today. Meanwhile, Ilocos Region, Cordillera and the rest of Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains.

Easterlies, the warm and humid air from the Pacific, brings generally fair weather in the rest of the archipelago. As Easterlies affect the eastern sections of Central and Southern Luzon, of Visayas and of Mindanao, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail only with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Gale warning is still in effect. The northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon will experience rough to very rough sea conditions. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea, while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves in Batanes, the Babuyan Group of Islands, Ilocos Sur, the northern coast of Cagayan, as well as the northern and western coast of Ilocos Norte.

Meanwhile, the country will remain storm-free in the next two to three days, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza said in an interview with Panahon TV.

The country remains storm-free as we welcome the first weekend of December 2017.

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Chris Perez, two tropical cyclones usually visit the country this month. Based on climatological records, weather disturbances frequently hit Visayas or Mindanao area at this time of year.

Despite the absence of a tropical cyclone today, rains will still affect some areas.

The Tail-End of a Cold Front brings rains in Extreme Northern Luzon, while Easterlies dampen the eastern section of the country. Throughout the day, Batanes and the Babuyan Group of Islands, Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region and the provinces of Cagayan, Aurora and Quezon will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. In the rest of the country, including Metro Manila Metro Manila, a generally fair weather will prevail but isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are possible.

With the surge of Amihan, the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon will experience rough to very rough sea conditions. Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea, while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves in Batanes, the Babuyan Group of Islands, Ilocos Sur, the northern coast of Cagayan, as well as the northern and western coast of Ilocos Norte.
