MANILA – The prevailing easterlies continue to influence weather conditions across the country, bringing cloudy skies and scattered rains over parts of Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration reported Tuesday.
In its early morning advisory, PAGASA said several provinces—including Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, Zamboanga del Sur, and Misamis Occidental—may experience moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall. These conditions raise the risk of flash floods and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms also caused by the easterlies. Severe thunderstorms could likewise trigger localized flooding or landslides.
Winds across Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will be light to moderate, blowing from the east to northeast, with coastal waters ranging from slight to moderate. Similar wind conditions are expected over Northern and Central Luzon, although winds will shift from the east to southeast, with slightly calmer seas.
