PAGASA: Rain showers to persist in several PH areas due to 3 weather systems

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced that several parts of the Philippines will experience continued rain showers on Friday due to three distinct weather systems.

The shear line is expected to bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, potentially heavy at times, to Batanes, Cagayan, Apayao, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes, with advisories issued for flooding and landslides.

Meanwhile, the Intertropical Convergence Zone will cause scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over the Davao region, Palawan, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.

Isolated light rains are anticipated in the Ilocos region and other parts of CAR, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon due to the northeast monsoon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers resulting from localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA also stated that the formation of a tropical cyclone is unlikely before the end of November.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected over northern and central Luzon, prompting a gale warning for the northern, eastern, and western seaboards of northern Luzon, with advisories for small seacraft and larger vessels.

Other areas will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
