PAGASA warns of rains, floods, landslides across Philippines

PAGASA warns of rains, floods, and landslides over parts of the Philippines as three weather systems - a shear line, ITCZ, and easterlies - continue to affect the country on Sunday, February 16, 2025.

The shear line is bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over the Batanes and Babuyan Islands, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

Easterlies are affecting mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Quezon, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, with the potential for flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rains.

The ITCZ is causing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in the Davao Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, and Sarangani, which may result in flash floods or landslides due to heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, with flash floods or landslides possible during severe thunderstorms.

Obet Badrina of PAGASA noted that the west side of Luzon will have warm weather as the northeast monsoon or 'amihan' slightly weakened on Sunday.
