MANILA – The shear line, northeast monsoon, and easterlies will continue to cause rainfall in various parts of the Philippines, according to the latest advisory from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In its early morning bulletin on Saturday (18 Jan 2025), PAGASA reported that Isabela, Aurora, Rizal, Laguna, Quezon, and Camarines Norte will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line.

These areas are at risk for flash floods and landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies with light rains over Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, and the rest of Cagayan Valley.

The monsoon will also affect Metro Manila, the Ilocos Region, and parts of Central Luzon and Calabarzon, resulting in partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, influenced by the easterlies.

PAGASA also noted that moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will affect Northern Luzon and the eastern parts of Central and Southern Luzon. Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected in other regions of the archipelago.
