MANILA – Widespread rains will affect most parts of the country on Friday (21Mar 2025) due to the influence of three weather systems, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported.

The shear line will bring scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over the Visayas, Albay, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, Masbate, and Dinagat Islands, with moderate to heavy rains expected in Sorsogon, Masbate, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, and Southern Leyte.

Meanwhile, the easterlies will trigger scattered rains and thunderstorms in the Davao Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Sarangani, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Palawan.

The northeast monsoon (“amihan”) will bring rains to Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Aurora, Quezon, and the rest of the Bicol Region, while isolated light rains are expected in other parts of Luzon.

PAGASA warned that flash floods and landslides could occur in areas experiencing moderate to heavy rainfall.

1Coastal conditions will also be affected, with strong winds and rough seas expected in the eastern sections of Southern Luzon and the Visayas. Moderate to rough coastal waters will prevail over the rest of Luzon, while other parts of the country will have light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas.

No low-pressure area is expected to develop or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility as of early Friday morning.

MANILA — The northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” continues to impact Northern Luzon, while the easterlies prevail over the rest of the country, maintaining cloudy conditions with isolated rain showers, according to the latest bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

PAGASA said Batanes and the Babuyan Islands would experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon. The “amihan” is expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, as well as the rest of Cagayan Valley.

Simultaneously, the Bicol Region will encounter cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms attributed to the easterlies. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA has issued a cautionary note, warning that severe thunderstorms could lead to flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas. Luzon and the eastern sections of the Visayas are forecasted to experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while the rest of the archipelago will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.

Temperature ranges for selected areas include Metro Manila (23°C to 31°C), Baguio City (17°C to 26°C), Laoag City (24°C to 32°C), Legazpi City (25°C to 29°C), Metro Cebu (25°C to 31°C), Puerto Princesa City (27°C to 32°C), and Metro Davao (25°C to 33°C).

MANILA — The interaction between a shear line impacting Central Luzon and a northeasterly wind pattern affecting Northern Luzon is expected to result in partially cloudy skies with isolated rainfall across most areas of the Philippines, according to the latest report from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released on Friday (20 Oct 2023).

The shear line is the weather system formed when cold and warm winds converge.

PAGASA’s 4 a.m. weather bulletin indicates that Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Apayao, and Kalinga should anticipate overcast conditions with showers due to the influence of the northeasterly wind flow. In the Ilocos region, as well as the rest of the Cordillera region and Cagayan Valley, the prevailing weather will be a mix of partly cloudy to cloudy skies with sporadic light rain.

For Metro Manila and the remainder of the country, the forecast calls for partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, primarily attributed to the shear line and localized thunderstorms, as per PAGASA.

Expect moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters in Luzon, while the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions.

The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 24°C to 29°C; Baguio City, 17°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 32°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 31°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 33°C.

The presence of a low-pressure area (LPA) situated 1,170 km east of Eastern Visayas is expected to bring rain to various parts of the Philippines.

According to the 5 a.m. weather bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are anticipated in Mindanao, the Bicol Region, and Eastern and Central Visayas due to the influence of the LPA’s trough.

PAGASA weather specialist Grace Castaneda noted that there is a low probability of this system developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours.

Castaneda also mentioned that the LPA might enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the next 24 to 48 hours. If it does, it could potentially move across Southern Luzon, leading to rainfall in that region over the coming days.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country can expect isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

Overall, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions will persist throughout the archipelago. (JR AMIGO/ai/mnm)
