MANILA – Parts of the Philippines, especially Mindanao, will experience rain on Friday (28 Feb 2025) due to the easterlies and the northeast monsoon, or “amihan.”
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that scattered rains and thunderstorms will affect Mindanao, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Southern Leyte. These areas may face flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.
Isolated light rains from the amihan will be felt across Cagayan Valley, Ilocos, the Cordillera region, and Central Luzon. Other parts of the country will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Severe thunderstorms could lead to flash floods or landslides. PAGASA also warned of moderate to strong winds and rough seas in the eastern Visayas and Mindanao. Light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere.
As of 2 a.m., no low-pressure area was detected, and no tropical cyclone formation is anticipated, PAGASA added.
