Three weather systems continue to influence conditions across the country, bringing rain showers to many areas of the Philippines on Friday, according to the state weather bureau.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said a shear line remains in place over eastern Southern Luzon, resulting in periods of rain in the area.

Most of Luzon, meanwhile, is experiencing cooler temperatures and light rainfall due to the northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan.

Pagasa also reported that easterly winds are affecting the rest of the country, triggering scattered rain showers in several regions outside Luzon.

Weather officials said there is no low-pressure area or tropical cyclone currently being monitored within or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

Despite the absence of a weather disturbance, Pagasa cautioned that sea conditions remain rough in some northern areas.

A gale warning has been raised for the coastal waters of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur, with fisherfolk advised to avoid venturing out to sea due to hazardous conditions.
