Cloudy Skies, Rains Expected In Parts Of The Philippines

The shear line, northeast monsoon (amihan), and easterlies will continue to bring cloudy skies and rain showers across much of the Philippines, the weather bureau reported on Sunday.

The northeast monsoon will cause cloudy skies with rains over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the Bicol Region, and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon.

In its 4 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the northeast monsoon will cause cloudy skies with rains over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the Bicol Region, and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the amihan.

Meanwhile, Caraga, the Davao Region, the Zamboanga Peninsula, and the provinces of Sarangani, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will see cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by the easterlies.

The rest of Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, also due to the easterlies.

Additionally, the shear line will bring cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and isolated thunderstorms to Palawan and the Visayas region. PAGASA warned of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains in affected areas.

Weather conditions for coastal waters and winds:

• Strong northeast winds and rough seas are expected over the northern and eastern sections of Luzon.

• Moderate to strong northeast winds with moderate to rough seas will affect the rest of Luzon and the eastern Visayas.
