MANILA – Most parts of the Philippines will continue to experience rainy and cooler weather on Wednesday as the northeast monsoon combines with other weather disturbances, PAGASA reported.
The state weather bureau said a shear line will cause cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms across Bicol, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Northern Samar. Palawan will also have similar weather conditions due to the trough of a low pressure area currently outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
According to PAGASA forecaster Loriedin Galicia, the low pressure area is not expected to enter PAR, but its trough will still enhance rainfall in affected areas. Easterlies will also bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Eastern Visayas.
PAGASA cautioned residents in these regions against possible flash floods and landslides as moderate to heavy rains may occur.
Light rains are forecast over the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Aurora due to the northeast monsoon, while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon may experience isolated light showers. The amihan will also result in cooler temperatures, especially at night.
Isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will persist in Mindanao due to easterlies. PAGASA said sea conditions will be moderate to rough over Luzon, while the rest of the country will experience generally slight to moderate seas.
