MANILA — In an update from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), widespread rainfall is expected to persist across various regions in the country today, Tuesday 21 Nov 2023).

The inclement weather is attributed to both the shear line and the northeast monsoon.

Areas including the Visayas, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, Zamboanga Peninsula, as well as the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, will encounter scattered rain showers and thunderstorms induced by the shear line.

PAGASA has cautioned that these conditions may lead to moderate to heavy rains, posing a potential risk of flash floods or landslides.

Cagayan Valley and Quezon province are forecasted to experience light rains, while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are anticipated to have isolated light rains due to the influence of the northeast monsoon.

In Mindanao, isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms are expected.

PAGASA advises residents to stay vigilant, especially in areas prone to flooding and landslides.

Moreover, moderate to strong winds, along with moderate to rough seas, are expected over Luzon, the Visayas, and the northern section of Mindanao.

The seaboards of Northern Luzon, the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon, the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon, and the eastern seaboard of the Visayas may experience rough to very rough seas, making sea travel risky for small seacrafts. Mariners are strongly urged to seek safe harbor.

Conversely, elsewhere in the country, winds will be light to moderate, and seas will be slight to moderate.

PAGASA encourages the maritime community to exercise caution and prioritize safety during these adverse weather conditions.

MANILA – A convergence of three weather systems is set to influence the weather patterns across the Philippines, according to the latest report from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

As of the 4 a.m. bulletin, a low-pressure area (LPA) is positioned approximately 605 km east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The trough of this LPA, along with a shear line affecting the eastern portion of the Visayas, and the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan,” impacting Luzon, will collectively contribute to widespread weather conditions.

The combination of the LPA’s trough and the shear line is expected to result in scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and the Davao Region, as per PAGASA.

Conversely, the northeast monsoon will bring overcast skies with light rains over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, and the Bicol Region. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, attributable to the same northeast monsoon.

For the rest of Mindanao, a mix of partly cloudy to cloudy skies is expected, accompanied by isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized atmospheric activity, as highlighted by PAGASA.

Residents in Luzon and the eastern parts of the Visayas and Mindanao are advised to brace for strong winds and rough seas, while the remaining regions are expected to experience lighter to moderate wind speeds and slight to moderate seas.

Temperature-wise, Metro Manila will see a range of 23°C to 32°C; Baguio City, 15°C to 25°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 33°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 31°C; Metro Cebu, 25°C to 30°C; Puerto Princesa City, 26°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 25°C to 31°C. As the Philippines navigates this complex weather scenario, residents are advised to stay informed about local advisories and take necessary precautions.

In its latest 4 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that a shear line affecting the eastern part of the Visayas, coupled with the northeast monsoon or “amihan” prevailing over Luzon, is poised to bring scattered or isolated rain showers across the Philippines.

The weather disturbance will manifest as cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over specific areas including the Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Caraga, Davao de Oro, Davao Oriental, Palawan, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. The impact is attributed to the shear line and the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA).

Concurrently, the northeast monsoon, ‘amihan,’ is anticipated to usher in cloudy skies with light rains over Batanes and Cagayan, encompassing the Babuyan Islands. Luzon, including Metro Manila, is expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the ‘amihan.’

The rest of the country will witness partly cloudy to cloudy skies with sporadic rain showers or thunderstorms, a consequence of the shear line and localized thunderstorms, as indicated by PAGASA.

Moderate to strong winds, alongside moderate to rough seas, are anticipated over Luzon and the eastern portions of the Visayas and Mindanao. In contrast, lighter to moderate wind speeds and slight to moderate seas are forecasted for the remaining regions.

As for temperatures, Metro Manila is projected to range from 24°C to 33°C, Baguio City from 16°C to 25°C, Laoag City from 25°C to 34°C, Legazpi City from 25°C to 31°C, Metro Cebu from 23°C to 30°C, Puerto Princesa City from 26°C to 32°C, and Metro Davao from 24°C to 30°C, according to PAGASA.

MANILA — Various regions in the Philippines continue to face persistent rain showers as the country grapples with the effects of the shear line and the northeast monsoon, commonly known as “amihan,” according to the latest report from the weather bureau on Thursday.

The shear line is anticipated to bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Quezon, Marinduque, and Romblon. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warns that moderate to heavy rains in these areas could lead to flash floods or landslides.

Additionally, the northeast monsoon is expected to induce light rains over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, Mountain Province, and Aurora. Metropolitan Manila, Ilocos Region, the remaining parts of Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Central Luzon, and the rest of Calabarzon will experience isolated light rains due to the influence of the northeast monsoon.

The rest of the country can anticipate isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms. PAGASA highlights that moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail over Luzon, the Visayas, and the eastern section of Mindanao, while the rest of Mindanao will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.

In related developments, PAGASA meteorologist Patrick del Mundo reports ongoing monitoring of a low-pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Located 1,220 km east of northeastern Mindanao, the LPA has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. Del Mundo notes that regardless of cyclone development, heavy rains are expected over the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and Caraga on Sunday.

“It could enter PAR in the next 24 hours,” Del Mundo remarked, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance in the face of potential weather disturbances.

Rain showers are expected to dampen the Visayas and most parts of Luzon today, Tuesday (31 October 2023), as reported by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). This weather forecast is due to the influence of three weather systems.

PAGASA is actively monitoring a low-pressure area (LPA) situated 470 km east of Virac, Catanduanes. According to PAGASA forecaster Patrick del Mundo, there’s a limited likelihood of the LPA developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. Furthermore, there’s a likelihood that the LPA will move toward the Bicol region, but it’s expected to dissipate once it reaches that area.

For Tuesday, the combination of the LPA’s trough and the shear line will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Visayas, Bicol, Mimaropa, Quezon, and Aurora. PAGASA warns that these areas may experience moderate to heavy rains, which could potentially lead to flash floods or landslides.

The northeast monsoon will result in light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, and Isabela, with isolated light rains expected in the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, the remaining parts of Cagayan Valley, and the rest of Central Luzon. The rest of the country will continue to experience isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

In terms of wind and sea conditions, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail across Luzon, while the Visayas and Mindanao will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, as reported by PAGASA.

MANILA — The presence of a low-pressure area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility indicates a slight possibility of developing into a tropical cyclone. However, its associated trough is anticipated to bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas during the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections scheduled for Monday (30 Oct 2023).

Simultaneously, the northeast monsoon continues to influence Northern and Central Luzon, as reported by Obet Badrina from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). This weather pattern will result in light rainfall for provinces such as Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora.

Additionally, isolated light rain is forecasted for the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, the remainder of Central Luzon, and Cagayan Valley. Badrina mentioned, “Mindanao and the remaining areas of the Visayas can expect isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms, primarily in the afternoon or evening.”

The seas off Northern Luzon will be moderate to rough, while other regions will experience light to moderate winds with slightly to moderately rough seas.

The LPA, last observed 995 kilometers east of the Visayas, may gradually approach the Visayas and Bicol Region in the coming days, leading to potential rain in the Visayas, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Mimaropa starting Wednesday.

PAGASA’s advisory warns that these moderate to heavy rains could trigger flash floods or landslides.
