MANILA – Several regions in the Philippines are set to experience rain on Thursday (23 Jan 2025) due to the combined effects of the shear line, easterlies, and northeast monsoon (amihan), according to the weather bureau.
The shear line will bring scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms over the Bicol Region, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Aklan, Capiz, and Northern Samar.
In the meantime, the easterlies will cause rainy conditions in Soccsksargen, Davao Region, Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. These areas may experience moderate to heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides, PAGASA warned.
The northeast monsoon will also result in light rains over Cagayan Valley and Aurora, with isolated light rain showers expected in Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon.
Elsewhere in the country, isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected due to the easterlies, with the potential for severe weather, including flash floods or landslides.
PAGASA also noted that light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will persist across the archipelago. No low-pressure area has been monitored for potential tropical cyclone formation.
