MANILA — Rains are expected to persist in various parts of the Philippines, driven by the easterlies and the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” according to the latest report from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Saturday 03 Feb 2024).

The easterlies are anticipated to bring cloudy skies along with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.

Additionally, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi are likely to experience similar weather conditions due to the trough of the low-pressure area (LPA). PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rains in these regions may lead to flash floods or landslides.

Simultaneously, the northeast monsoon is expected to bring light rains to Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon, with isolated light rains projected for the Cordillera and Ilocos regions, as well as the rest of Central Luzon.

For the remainder of the country, including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies are anticipated with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms attributed to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA also highlighted that moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters are expected over the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. In contrast, the rest of the archipelago will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.

Temperature projections indicate a range of 21°C to 31°C in Metro Manila, 14°C to 23°C in Baguio City, 21°C to 29°C in Laoag City, 24°C to 30°C in Legazpi City, 24°C to 30°C in Metro Cebu, 24°C to 31°C in Puerto Princesa City, and 24°C to 31°C in Metro Davao.

MANILA — Rains are expected to persist across a significant portion of the Philippines on Friday (02 Feb 2024), influenced by the northeast monsoon and the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA).

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the LPA’s trough will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Mindanao, Central Visayas, Negros Occidental, and Southern Leyte. In these regions, moderate to heavy rains could potentially lead to flash floods or landslides.

As of the latest observation, the LPA was located 310 km south of Zamboanga City. PAGASA forecaster Benison Estareja mentioned that while there is a slim chance of it developing into a tropical cyclone, it is likely to dissipate over the weekend.

Simultaneously, the northeast monsoon is anticipated to bring light rains over Aurora, Quezon, and the Bicol Region, with isolated light rains forecasted over the rest of Luzon. PAGASA also predicts isolated rain showers in the Visayas due to localized thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected over the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. In other areas, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, according to 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.

MANILA — No Low-Pressure Area (LPA) has formed yet, but rain is anticipated in parts of the Philippines, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

Cloud clusters over Mindanao have been identified, raising the possibility of their development into an LPA.

Despite the presence of these cloud formations, Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja assured that the country is not expected to experience any tropical cyclone or LPA over the next five days.

“We have observed some cloud clusters over Mindanao, but their chances of evolving into an LPA remain slim,” stated Estareja.

Simultaneously, he mentioned that two weather systems, the shear line and the northeast monsoon locally known as “amihan,” have weakened. However, they continue to bring rainfall to various parts of the archipelago.

Specifically, the shear line, where hot and cold air converges, is impacting Caraga and the Davao Region. Overcast skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are anticipated in these areas.

According to the 5 a.m. advisory from the state-run weather agency, Metro Manila and other Luzon areas, including the Bicol Region, are likely to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the amihan.

Over the next 24 hours, the rest of the country is expected to encounter scattered heavy rains or thunderstorms due to the shear line and localized thunderstorms, Pagasa added.
