Pagasa forecasts scattered rains over Metro Manila, Luzon on New Year's Day

Scattered rain showers are expected across Metro Manila and most of Luzon on New Year's Day, January 1, 2026, according to Pagasa.

The northeast monsoon is anticipated to bring isolated light rains and chillier weather to many areas in northern and central Luzon, with no significant impact expected.

Meanwhile, the shear line is predicted to cause cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms in Quezon province, Mimaropa, Bicol regions, and Western Visayas.

These areas, along with Mindanao and the rest of Visayas which are affected by easterlies, are warned of possible flash floods and landslides during heavier bouts of rain or more severe thunderstorms.

Pagasa has not detected any low-pressure areas or tropical cyclones within or near the Philippine area of responsibility.

Strong to gale-force winds are forecast for Batanes, making sea travel hazardous for small vessels.
