MANILA – Parts of the Philippines are set to experience rainfall from the trough of Tropical Storm Nuri and the northeast monsoon, also called “amihan,” according to PAGASA on Wednesday.
Tropical Storm Nuri, located 1,290 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas, is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Its trough is likely to bring scattered thunderstorms and rain to Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental. Moderate to heavy rainfall may cause flash floods and landslides in these regions.
The “amihan” is expected to deliver light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora, with isolated showers in Metro Manila, Luzon, and the Visayas. Mindanao will experience isolated rainfall from localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA added that Luzon and the eastern parts of Visayas and Mindanao will see moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas, while other areas can expect light to moderate winds and relatively calmer waters.
