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.

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.

MANILA – The Philippine weather bureau reported on Thursday that parts of Luzon can expect rain showers from two distinct weather systems.
Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are forecasted for the provinces of Quezon, Rizal, Laguna, and Camarines Norte, attributed to a shear line.
Meanwhile, a northeasterly surface windflow will bring rain to Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Apayao, Kalinga, and Aurora.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warned that moderate to heavy rains in these regions may lead to flash floods and landslides.
PAGASA forecaster Patrick del Mundo mentioned that the rest of the country should expect isolated rain due to localized thunderstorms, with no gale warning issued for any part of the country.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected in Northern and Central Luzon, while elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate, and seas will be slight to moderate.
PAGASA is currently monitoring three weather systems beyond the boundaries of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). In its 4 a.m. weather update on Sunday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported the following:
- Typhoon Koinu, previously known as Jenny, is nearly stationary and positioned 725 km west of the extreme Northern Luzon. It boasts maximum sustained winds of 155 kph and gusts of up to 190 kph.
- Tropical Storm Bolaven (international name) is situated 3,045 km east of the Visayas, moving slowly westward with maximum sustained winds of 65 kph and gusts of 80 kph.
- An area of low pressure (LPA) was detected 1,845 km east of the Visayas as of 3 a.m. Sunday.
PAGASA clarified that these three weather systems currently do not have any direct impact on any part of the Philippines. The weather outlook for Metro Manila and the rest of the country includes partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, attributed to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” and localized thunderstorms.
Northern and Central Luzon, along with the western section of Southern Luzon, can expect light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to southeast, with slight to moderate coastal waters. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds heading northeast to northwest, also with slight to moderate sea conditions.
Temperature-wise, the range is expected to be between 24.6°C and 32.7°C.
