Amihan

Amihan, or the northeast monsoon, is a seasonal weather pattern that brings cooler temperatures and increased rainfall to parts of the Philippines, particularly in Luzon, and typically ends by late March or early April, giving way to the warm and dry season. PAGASA monitors its weakening to officially declare the start of the dry season, which is marked by rising temperatures and drier conditions across the country. The transition from amihan to the dry season affects weather patterns, agriculture, and public health, especially in regions prone to heat stress and extreme temperatures.
