MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) forecast continued rainy conditions across parts of the country on Thursday, November 5, driven by the northeast monsoon and easterly wind patterns.
In its early morning advisory, Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina indicated that the amihan, the local term for the northeast monsoon, would maintain its influence over northern and central regions. The combination of these wind systems is expected to generate scattered to moderate rainfall in susceptible areas.
Commuters and residents in affected localities should prepare for wet weather and potential travel delays. Pagasa advised the public to monitor regular weather updates and exercise caution in areas prone to flooding or landslides.
The weather bureau typically issues updated forecasts every few hours to track the movement and intensity of these weather systems. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official Pagasa channels for the latest meteorological guidance.
