MANILA – Several regions of the Philippines will experience rain on Monday due to the influence of three weather systems, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The shear line will bring scattered rain and isolated thunderstorms to areas including the Cordillera Administrative Region, mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, and Albay.
The easterlies will also cause scattered rain and thunderstorms in Caraga, Davao Region, Northern Mindanao, Soccsksargen, Eastern Samar, Leyte, and Southern Leyte. PAGASA warned that these areas are at risk for flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon (“amihan”) will bring light rain to Batanes and Babuyan Islands, while isolated rain showers or thunderstorms from the shear line will affect the Ilocos Region.
The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
PAGASA also forecasted moderate to strong winds and rough seas over extreme Northern Luzon and the eastern part of Luzon, while other areas will see light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
