MANILA – On Thursday (13 Feb 2025), three weather systems will bring rain to various parts of the Philippines, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms will affect Batanes and the Babuyan Islands due to the shear line.
Meanwhile, the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to parts of Mindanao, including Caraga, Davao Region, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, and Bukidnon.
The easterlies will cause similar weather conditions, with scattered rains and thunderstorms over the Visayas, Bicol Region, and Romblon.
PAGASA has warned that moderate to heavy rainfall in these areas may trigger flash floods or landslides.
The easterlies will also bring isolated rain showers and thunderstorms to the rest of the country.
In terms of wind and sea conditions, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected in the northern and eastern sections of Northern Luzon. Elsewhere, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail.
PAGASA also noted that a low-pressure area (LPA) located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone. As of 2 a.m., the LPA was situated 430 kilometers northwest of Pag-asa Island in Kalayaan, Palawan.
