CEBU, Philippines — Cebu will continue to experience cold weather conditions up to the end of February, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA-Visayas weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino said the condition is brought by northeast monsoon or “amihan” affecting the Philippines since October last year.

But he said there are days in the month that Cebu will experience sunny weather like today.
