PAGASA warns of scattered rains, thunderstorms due to three systems

On Tuesday, February 19, PAGASA issued an updated weather advisory warning of scattered rains and thunderstorms affecting parts of the Philippines due to three weather systems: a shear line, Northeast Monsoon (Amihan), and Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Isabela and Aurora may expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line; residents should be prepared for possible flash floods or landslides during severe weather conditions.

Batanes, Cagayan, and Apayao will experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains from Amihan that may cause flash floods or landslides.

Zamboanga Peninsula, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the ITCZ; residents are advised to be alert for potential flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila and other parts of the country will see isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by easterly winds; caution is urged during severe storms for potential flooding or landslides.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are expected across Northern Luzon, while elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate coastal waters.

Visayas and Mindanao regions can expect generally fair weather except for isolated thunderstorms that may occur in the afternoon or evening.
