Amihan, shear line, easterlies to bring rains on New Year's Day

Filipinos can expect various weather conditions, including rain brought by the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan), easterlies, and the shear line, on the first day of 2026.

The Amihan is predicted to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, with no significant impact expected.

The shear line will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms to MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and Quezon.

Easterlies are forecast to cause partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms across Mindanao and the rest of Visayas.

PAGASA has issued warnings for potential flash floods or landslides in areas affected by the shear line and easterlies, particularly during moderate to heavy rains or severe thunderstorms.

Extreme Northern Luzon will experience strong to gale-force winds with rough to very rough coastal waters due to the Amihan.
