MANILA — The easterlies will continue to bring unsettled weather over several parts of the Philippines, resulting in scattered rains and thunderstorms, the national weather agency reported early Tuesday.
According to the 4 a.m. forecast issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, moderate to heavy rains are likely over Zamboanga Peninsula, Palawan, Basilan, and Tawi-Tawi, raising the risk of flash floods and landslides.
Isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may also affect Metro Manila and the rest of the country due to the prevailing weather system.
PAGASA cautioned that intense thunderstorms could still cause localized flooding or landslides, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas.
The agency added that eastern Luzon and Visayas will experience moderate to strong winds accompanied by moderate to rough seas, while calmer conditions with slight to moderate waves will prevail elsewhere.
No low-pressure area is currently being monitored for tropical cyclone formation as of 2 a.m., PAGASA said.
