MANILA. Various weather systems are expected to bring cloudy skies and scattered rains across different parts of the Philippines on Friday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In its latest weather bulletin, PAGASA reported that the Shear Line will affect the eastern section of Northern Luzon, the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) will impact extreme Northern Luzon, while the Easterlies will influence weather conditions in the rest of the country.

Areas Affected by Rain and Possible Flooding

  • Caraga, Southern Leyte, and Davao Oriental will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Easterlies. Residents in these areas are warned of possible flash floods or landslides caused by moderate to heavy rainfall.
  • Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with rains due to the Northeast Monsoon. PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rains could lead to flash floods or landslides in these areas.
  • Ilocos Norte will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the Northeast Monsoon, although no significant impact is expected.
  • Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the Easterlies. Severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides in certain areas.

Wind and Coastal Water Conditions

  • Northern Luzon: Strong winds from the northeast, with rough coastal waters.
  • Central Luzon: Moderate to strong northeast winds, with moderate to rough seas.
  • Rest of the country: Light to moderate winds from the east to northeast, with slight to moderate coastal waters.

PAGASA advises the public to stay updated with weather advisories and take necessary precautions, especially in areas prone to flooding and landslides.
