MANILA — Two weather systems are poised to bring rain showers across Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The shear line and the northeast monsoon, known as “amihan,” are expected to influence the island.
In its 4 a.m. forecast on November 23, 2023, PAGASA indicated that Palawan, Quezon, and the Bicol Region will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line.
The agency warned of the potential for moderate to heavy rains in these areas, which could lead to flash floods or landslides.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon will bring light rains to Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Apayao, with isolated light rains expected over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
The rest of the country will continue to experience isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.
Luzon can anticipate moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while other areas can expect light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas, as per PAGASA’s advisory.
