The northeast monsoon, locally called "amihan," will continue to bring light rains and colder weather over most parts of Luzon and Visayas, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Sunday, Dec. 5.

Cloudy skies with light monsoon rains may prevail over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and the northern portion of Quezon including Polillo Islands.

Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, and Visayas may also have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the amihan.

Meanwhile, Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers from localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA however warned that the occurrence of severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides.

Weather specialist Ezra Bulquerin said the country can expect "good" weather in the next three days due to the absence of a weather disturbance or low pressure area within the country's area of responsibility.
