[1] Continued chance of above-average rainfall for portions of Central
& Southern Philippines.
The enhanced wet-phase of MJO & the ongoing La Niña
are expected to support a favorable large-scale environment for convection &
rainfall. Above average sea surface temperatures in some areas will also
contribute to enhance rainfall. Confidence: HIGH.

[2] The passage of Mid-Latitude Frontal System over Southern Japan
& strong High Pressure Area over China may bring strong & cool north-
easterly winds accompanied with some rainshowers along Northern
& Central Philippines (from Batanes down to Bicol & Northern Visayas).

This wind system is commonly known as the Northeast (NE) Monsoon which
started in November and ends in March.
Confidence: HIGH.


Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above weekly tropical forecast outlook, does
not guarantee 100% accuracy! Errors & changes can happen
