Manila: A huge part of the country will experience scattered rains due to two prevailing weather systems, the weather bureau said on Monday.
According to Philippines News Agency, the shear line is expected to bring scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms across Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Northern Samar, as reported by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The same weather conditions are anticipated across Mindanao and the rest of Eastern Visayas due to the influence of easterlies. PAGASA warns that moderate to heavy rains in these areas could lead to flash floods or landslides.
The northeast monsoon, locally known as "amihan," will result in light rains over Quezon and the rest of the Bicol Region, as well as isolated light rains over the rest of Luzon. Isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by the easterlies are expected to persist across Palawan and the rest of the Visayas.
Meanwhile, PAGASA forecasts moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters across Luzon and the eastern section of the Visayas. In other areas, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas.
As of 2 a.m., no low pressure area is being monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation, according to PAGASA.
