MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a warning as rainfall continues to affect most parts of the country due to three major weather systems.

On Tuesday (11 Feb 2025), the weather bureau reported that several areas will remain under the influence of these systems, which are expected to bring widespread rains, thunderstorms, and heightened risks of flash floods and landslides.

The shear line, which is causing scattered rain and isolated thunderstorms, will impact the Visayas, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, Quezon, and Aurora. Additionally, Caraga and Davao will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms, primarily due to the easterlies.

PAGASA has highlighted the possibility of moderate to heavy rainfall in these regions, warning that this could lead to flash floods or landslides, particularly in areas prone to such conditions.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon, also known as “amihan,” will bring overcast skies and light to moderate rains across Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon and Calabarzon. Isolated light rains are also expected in the rest of Luzon.

In Mindanao, the easterlies will continue to bring isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms, though the impact is expected to be less severe compared to other regions.

In terms of wind conditions, PAGASA forecasts moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas over Luzon and the Visayas. For Mindanao, light to moderate winds are expected, along with slight to moderate seas.

As of the latest update, PAGASA has confirmed that no low-pressure area is being monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation.

Citizens in affected areas are advised to stay updated on the latest weather advisories and take precautions against potential weather-related hazards.

MANILA – Parts of the Philippines will continue to experience rain showers as the easterlies and the northeast monsoon, or “amihan,” affect different regions, according to the weather bureau.

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 – Isolated rain showers are forecast to persist across most parts of the Philippines, according to the weather bureau’s advisory issued on Monday (20 Jan 2025).

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the northeast monsoon (amihan) will bring rainfall to Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon.

Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, brought about by the easterlies, are expected in Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Dinagat Islands, and Davao Oriental.

These regions may experience moderate to heavy rainfall, which could lead to flash floods or landslides.

The northeast monsoon will also bring light, isolated rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

Elsewhere in the country, isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected due to the easterlies.

PAGASA also warned of moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas in Northern Luzon, while other areas will experience light to moderate winds with slight to moderate coastal waters.

At present, no low-pressure area is being monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation, PAGASA confirmed.
