MANILA – According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the northeast monsoon or ‘amihan’ and the easterlies are expected to persist, resulting in cloudy skies with isolated rain showers in various parts of the country on Sunday.
In its 4 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA warned of cloudy skies with rains in the Bicol region due to the northeast monsoon, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides amid moderate to heavy rains.
Meanwhile, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and Quezon are forecasted to experience cloudy skies with light rains attributed to the ‘amihan’.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are anticipated to have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, also influenced by the northeast monsoon.
For the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected due to easterlies and localized thunderstorms. PAGASA warned of possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
While no gale warning has been issued, fishermen are advised to exercise caution when venturing into the seas, especially in Luzon, where moderate to rough seas are expected due to moderate to strong winds blowing northeast.
Elsewhere in the country, light to moderate winds blowing northeast and slightly moderate coastal waters are anticipated.
