Northeast monsoon persists, affects more areas in Luzon

MANILA, Philippines: Contrary to the prediction of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) that the northeast monsoon or 'amihan' will end soon, the weather system persists and is affecting more areas in Luzon including Metro Manila.

The weather agency earlier said the northeast monsoon was expected to end by the second week of March as the warm-dry season nears.
