PAGASA warns of rains, thunderstorms, and rising temps

According to PAGASA's forecast on Monday, March 3, two weather systems continue to affect parts of the country.

The northeast monsoon (amihan) is gradually weakening and will bring isolated light rains to the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley in the next 24 hours.

Easterlies are causing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, Bicol Region, and Davao Oriental, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila and most parts of the country will experience partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to easterlies.

Temperatures are expected to rise gradually as the amihan is set to end this month, with at least three areas forecast to experience heat indices in PAGASA's 'danger' range of 42 to 51 degrees Celsius.
