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.
