MANILA – The weather bureau announced Thursday that certain regions in the Philippines will encounter rainfall due to the convergence of easterlies and the northeast monsoon, commonly known as “amihan.”

Eastern Visayas will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms brought about by the easterlies, potentially leading to moderate to heavy rainfall that may trigger flash floods or landslides, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In contrast, “amihan” will induce isolated light rains across the Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region.

For the rest of the country, isolated rain showers resulting from the easterlies and localized thunderstorms are expected.

Moreover, the eastern parts of the Philippines are forecasted to encounter moderate to strong winds along with moderate to rough coastal waters. Elsewhere, winds are anticipated to be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas.

PAGASA forecaster Benison Estareja stated that no low-pressure area or tropical cyclone is foreseen until the weekend.

MANILA – Various regions in the Philippines will continue to encounter rain showers as three weather systems influence the country, the weather bureau reported on Wednesday.

According to the 4 a.m. bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the Bicol Region, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and the southern part of Quezon will witness overcast skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line and the easterlies.

PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rains in these areas may lead to flash floods or landslides.

Meanwhile, cloudy skies with light rains are expected over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and the remainder of Quezon due to the northeast monsoon or “amihan.”

Similar weather conditions will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Region, and the remaining parts of Central Luzon and Calabarzon.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters are anticipated over the eastern sections of the country, while light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected over the rest of the archipelago.

Temperature ranges for various areas are as follows: Metro Manila, 23°C to 32°C; Baguio City, 13°C to 23°C; Laoag City, 20°C to 31°C; Legazpi City, 24°C to 28°C; Metro Cebu, 24°C to 30°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 24°C to 32°C.

MANILA — Three weather systems are poised to bring rain showers over various parts of the Philippines, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In its latest weather bulletin, PAGASA indicated that Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, Aklan, Capiz, Marinduque, Romblon, Oriental Mindoro, and Quezon are likely to experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the influence of both the shear line and the easterlies.

These conditions may escalate to moderate to heavy rains, potentially triggering flash floods or landslides in affected areas.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon is expected to bring light rains over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora, with isolated light rains anticipated over the remainder of Luzon.

Additionally, isolated rain showers caused by the easterlies and localized thunderstorms are forecasted across the rest of the country.

For areas directly affected, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters are projected over Luzon and the eastern sections of the Visayas and Mindanao.

Particularly rough seas are anticipated along the eastern seaboards of Northern, Southern, and Central Luzon, as well as the eastern seaboard of the Visayas.

Given these conditions, sea travel poses risks for small sea vessels, prompting mariners to exercise caution and either remain in port or seek safe harbor.

In contrast, winds are expected to be light to moderate elsewhere, accompanied by slight to moderate seas, as stated by PAGASA.

MANILA — Through the influence of a Low-Pressure Area (LPA), the “amihan” or northeast monsoon is expected to bring widespread rainfall to most parts of the Philippines on Thursday (01 Feb 2024), as reported by the weather bureau.

The LPA’s extension impacting Mindanao is anticipated to result in scattered to widespread rain showers and thunderstorms in Caraga, Davao Region, and Soccsksargen. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warns of the potential for heavy to intense rains, posing a risk of flash floods or landslides in these areas.

Additionally, Central Visayas, Southern Leyte, and the remainder of Mindanao are projected to experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the LPA’s trough. PAGASA cautions that moderate to heavy rains in these regions may lead to flash floods or landslides.

PAGASA meteorologist Benison Estareja noted the presence of an LPA outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, located 195 kilometers southwest of General Santos City. While there is a slim chance of it developing into a tropical cyclone, Estareja suggests it could potentially dissipate in the coming days.

Simultaneously, the “amihan” is expected to bring light rains to Aurora, Quezon, and the Bicol Region, with isolated light rains forecasted for the rest of Luzon. The Visayas region will experience isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

Across the entire archipelago, PAGASA predicts moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas prevailing.
