PAGASA warns of scattered rains, thunderstorms in Visayas, Mindanao, Metro Manila

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported ongoing rainfall caused by easterly winds and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) across parts of the country on Friday.

Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Southern Leyte will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the ITCZ, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

Metro Manila and other regions nationwide will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to easterly winds, also warning of possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

Light to moderate winds are expected in Northern and Central Luzon moving from east to southeast direction with slight to moderate coastal waters, while the rest of the country will have light to moderate wind speed from east to northeast direction with similar sea conditions.

Sunrise is scheduled for 5:44 a.m. on Saturday, and sunset at 6:09 p.m.
