Past Christmas eves were rainy as well, due to the effects of the northeast monsoon and nearby low pressure areas (LPA). Many parts of the country experienced rains the day before Christmas in 2013, as well as in 2012, when an approaching LPA became Tropical Storm Quinta, which killed 23 people.

PAGASA on Wednesday afternoon advised the public and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council concerned to continue monitoring the weather. – Rappler.com
