MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has forecast three weather systems to bring rains across the country on Friday (12 Feb 2025).
Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will experience scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line. The Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Quezon will see similar conditions brought on by the easterlies.
Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and the Davao Region will also experience scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ).
Moderate to heavy rainfall in these areas may lead to flash floods or landslides. The rest of the country will face isolated rain showers or thunderstorms from the ITCZ and easterlies, with the potential for flash floods or landslides during severe storms.
Strong winds and rough seas will affect extreme Northern Luzon, while moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected across the rest of Northern Luzon. The rest of the country will see light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
PAGASA also reported that a low-pressure area (LPA) located 360 km northwest of Pag-asa Island, Palawan, has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone.
