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.

MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced today that the combination of the northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan, and easterlies will continue to bring rain to several parts of the country, with possible flash floods and landslides in affected regions.
In its latest weather bulletin, PAGASA stated that scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected across Caraga, Davao Region, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, and Misamis Occidental. These areas, influenced by the easterlies, could face moderate to heavy rainfall, raising concerns about flash floods and landslides.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon will bring rain to the Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora, while isolated light rains are expected over other parts of Luzon. The rest of the country will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms brought on by the prevailing easterlies.
The weather bureau also warned of moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas along the eastern sections of the Visayas and Mindanao. For other areas, light to moderate winds will prevail, with seas expected to be slight to moderate.
As of 2 a.m., PAGASA reported no active low-pressure areas in the vicinity, and no tropical cyclones are expected to form in the near future.
Residents in affected regions are advised to stay vigilant and monitor weather updates, especially those in flood-prone areas, as the rains could lead to hazardous conditions.

Rhea Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that while the northeast monsoon will bring light rains to some areas in Luzon, the easterlies will cause warm temperatures across a majority of the country.
Weather Outlook:
The easterlies will also trigger scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Mindanao. PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rains could lead to flash floods or landslides.
The northeast monsoon will bring light rains to Batanes, Cagayan, and Apayao, with isolated light showers expected in the Ilocos Region.
The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
Temperature Forecast:
In Metro Manila, temperatures could reach up to 33°C, while in Laoag, Tuguegarao, and Legazpi, it may reach 31°C. In Iloilo, Kalayaan Islands, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban, and Davao, temperatures will peak at 32°C, while Zamboanga may experience up to 33°C.
Coastal and Wind Conditions:
Moderate to strong winds, along with moderate to rough seas, will prevail over Northern Luzon and the eastern section of Mindanao. Elsewhere, winds will remain light to moderate, with light to moderate seas, PAGASA reported.
No low-pressure areas are currently being monitored inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

MANILA – The northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” will affect parts of Luzon on Sunday (19 Jan 2025), bringing cloudy skies and rainfall, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In its 24-hour forecast, PAGASA reported that the provinces of Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains due to the amihan. The weather bureau has cautioned that these conditions could lead to flash floods and landslides, particularly in low-lying and mountainous areas.
In Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail, with isolated light rains also attributed to the northeast monsoon. However, PAGASA indicated that these areas are not expected to face any significant weather impacts.
Elsewhere in the country, including the Visayas and Mindanao, conditions will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, driven by the easterlies. These localized weather events may also trigger flash floods or landslides, particularly during intense thunderstorms.
Wind conditions will range from moderate to strong in Northern Luzon and the eastern parts of Central and Southern Luzon, with winds coming from the east to northeast. Coastal waters in these regions are expected to be moderate to rough, with wave heights reaching 2.1 to 3.4 meters, posing a risk to small seacrafts.
In the rest of the country, light to moderate winds are expected, with coastal waters remaining slight to moderate, providing safer conditions for maritime activities.
