Rains in extreme Northern Luzon are still expected as the tail-end of the cold front continues to affect this area, the state weather bureau said on Monday.
In its advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy with brief rainshowers.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon, Visayas and eastern Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the east with slight to moderate seas.
PAGASA also issued a gale warning as strong to gale force wind is expected to affect the seaboards of Northern Luzon and western seaboard of Central Luzon.
"Fishing boats and other small sea crafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves," PAGASA said.
Meanwhile, PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel Servando said that they expect zero to one tropical cyclone to enter the month of January due to the strong northeast monsoon.
"It will be zero to one, normally ang pumapasok sa January hindi na ganun kalakas kasi malamig na with the presence of the northeast monsoon. Hindi siya conducive for the development of a strong or intense typhoon," Servando said in a interview.
