Amihan: the northeast monsoon
Habagat: the southwest monsoon
Apparently the Amihan winds have stopped, overnight, and we’re now in ’summer’, where the winds are light and the sun is strong. This should last until June, when, just as suddenly, the Habagat begins.
[I hope Mr Weatherman is right, as I’m due to be diving again next week]
