Christmas Eve 2024 weather: Shear line, ‘amihan’ to bring rains to Luzon, Visayas
Parts of Luzon and Visayas are expected to experience cloudy skies with rain on Tuesday, Dec. 24, due to the shear line and the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan.”
In its weather forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the shear line is currently affecting Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas, while the “amihan” is influencing the rest of Luzon.
According to PAGASA, Eastern Visayas, the Bicol Region, Calabarzon, and Mimaropa will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms caused by the shear line.
Cloudy skies with rain due to the northeast monsoon are also expected in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija.
The “amihan” will further bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains across the rest of Luzon.
Meanwhile, PAGASA noted that the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized weather conditions.
PAGASA has warned of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rain, which may intensify at times, or during severe thunderstorms.
As of 3 a.m., PAGASA reported that Tropical Storm “Romina” (international name: Pabuk) was located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), approximately 250 kilometers west-northwest of Kalayaan, Palawan (Pag-Asa Island). It has maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (km/h) and gustiness of up to 80 km/h.
