PAGASA warns of rain, possible flash floods in NCR, Luzon

Two weather systems continue to affect parts of Northern and Central Luzon, bringing cloudy skies and rain showers, according to PAGASA’s latest forecast.

The northeast monsoon (amihan) brings overcast skies with rains in Cagayan Valley and Cordillera, while the shear line causes scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms in Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, Quezon, and Aurora.

PAGASA advises precaution against possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains and raises gale warnings for seaboards of Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Island, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Aurora, Northern Quezon, and the northern and eastern coast of Puyo Island.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon may experience slightly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms and northeast monsoon activity.

Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region are forecast to have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), while Visayas and Mindanao may anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
