MANILA — In its latest weather update, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that isolated rain showers are anticipated to prevail over most parts of the country.
This weather pattern is attributed to the influence of the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
While the northeast monsoon continues to impact Northern Luzon, bringing cloudy skies accompanied by light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, and Apayao, other regions will experience varying degrees of cloud cover and precipitation. The Ilocos Region, the rest of Cordillera Administrative Region, and the remaining areas of Cagayan Valley are expected to have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.
For the rest of the archipelago, PAGASA forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the prevailing easterlies and localized atmospheric disturbances. It is important to note that PAGASA has issued a warning about the potential occurrence of severe thunderstorms, which could lead to flash floods and landslides.
In terms of wind and sea conditions, Northern Luzon is set to experience moderate to strong winds along with moderate to rough seas. Conversely, in other parts of the country, winds are expected to be light to moderate, with seas ranging from slight to moderate. As the weather remains dynamic, residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety in the face of potential weather-related hazards.
