Pagasa: 5 weather systems to bring nationwide rain
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) predicts rainy weather from five weather systems in the next 24 hours across the country.
The trough of a recently exited low-pressure area, combined with a shear line, will result in cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms in Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, and Kalayaan Islands, according to Pagasa.
The northeast monsoon will lead to cloudy skies with rain in the Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of the Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Meanwhile, the remaining Ilocos Region will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the monsoon.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, influenced by the easterlies and localized thunderstorms, according to Pagasa.
Weather Specialist Daniel James Villamil predicts clearer weather for Metro Manila.
Pagasa warns that flash floods and landslides may occur during moderate to heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
Gale warnings are in effect for the seaboards of Batanes, Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan. Villamil noted that these areas will experience moderate to rough seas due to the northeast monsoon.
