PAGASA warns rain, thunderstorms, flash floods for parts of Luzon, Mindanao

PAGASA reported on Saturday that various parts of Luzon and Mindanao will experience cloudy skies and rain due to the northeasterly wind flow and Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the next 24 hours.

The Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, Zamboanga Peninsula, Surigao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will see cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the ITCZ, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rainfall.

Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains from the Northeasterly Windflow with no significant impact.

Metro Manila and other parts of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms influenced by easterlies from the Pacific Ocean, with possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

Northern Luzon will continue to experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters due to the northeasterly wind flow.

PAGASA also warned of dangerous heat index levels over Dagupan City, Virac in Catanduanes, and Echague in Isabela.
