MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a warning as rainfall continues to affect most parts of the country due to three major weather systems.
On Tuesday (11 Feb 2025), the weather bureau reported that several areas will remain under the influence of these systems, which are expected to bring widespread rains, thunderstorms, and heightened risks of flash floods and landslides.
The shear line, which is causing scattered rain and isolated thunderstorms, will impact the Visayas, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, Quezon, and Aurora. Additionally, Caraga and Davao will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms, primarily due to the easterlies.
PAGASA has highlighted the possibility of moderate to heavy rainfall in these regions, warning that this could lead to flash floods or landslides, particularly in areas prone to such conditions.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon, also known as “amihan,” will bring overcast skies and light to moderate rains across Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon and Calabarzon. Isolated light rains are also expected in the rest of Luzon.
In Mindanao, the easterlies will continue to bring isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms, though the impact is expected to be less severe compared to other regions.
In terms of wind conditions, PAGASA forecasts moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas over Luzon and the Visayas. For Mindanao, light to moderate winds are expected, along with slight to moderate seas.
As of the latest update, PAGASA has confirmed that no low-pressure area is being monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation.
Citizens in affected areas are advised to stay updated on the latest weather advisories and take precautions against potential weather-related hazards.
