Scattered rains, thunderstorms, flash floods, landslides, heat warnings

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and easterlies will bring scattered rains and thunderstorms over Mindanao, Palawan, Eastern Samar, and isolated rain showers or thunderstorms across the rest of the country on Wednesday.

Moderate to heavy rainfall in these areas could trigger flash floods or landslides due to the ITCZ and easterlies.

Metro Manila will experience partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by easterlies, according to PAGASA.

PAGASA warns that severe thunderstorms may cause flash floods or landslides, advising the public to be alert and limit outdoor activities.

The weather bureau is monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility but it is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours.

More areas are forecast to experience 'danger level' heat index on Wednesday, with peak temperatures reaching up to 46°C in Dagupan City and Apparri, Cagayan.

The public is warned against heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke due to the high heat indices.
