PAGASA: amihan, easterlies bring rains, strong winds

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that both the northeast monsoon (Amihan) and easterlies would continue to affect various regions in the Philippines on Sunday.

Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region, Kalinga, Apayao, Aurora, Quezon, Metro Manila, and the rest of Luzon are expected to experience cloudy skies with light rains due to Amihan.

Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Negros Occidental, Caraga, and Davao Regions will have cloudy conditions with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by a shear line, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and Visayas will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

The rest of Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to easterlies, with potential for flash floods during severe thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned that moderate to strong winds and rough seas would prevail in Northern Luzon and the eastern section of Central and Southern Luzon, while light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will be present elsewhere.
