SYNOPSIS: Northeasterly Windflow is currently affecting Northern Luzon, bringing varying weather conditions across different regions of the country.
Forecast Weather Conditions:
- Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon will experience cloudy skies with rain throughout the day. This is due to the effects of the Northeasterly Windflow sweeping across these areas. Residents in these regions are advised to be on alert for possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains that may occur intermittently.
- Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms. While the weather is generally expected to be fair, these thunderstorms could become severe, leading to possible flash floods or landslides in affected areas. Residents are advised to stay vigilant, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Forecast Wind and Coastal Water Conditions:
- The eastern sections of Luzon and Visayas will experience light to moderate winds coming from the northeast to northwest. Coastal waters in these regions will be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 2.5 meters. Fisherfolk and small sea vessels are advised to take necessary precautions due to the moderate wave activity in these areas.
- The rest of the country will also have light to moderate winds, but these will come from the southwest to the northwest. Coastal waters in these areas are expected to be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 2.1 meters.
Advisories:
Residents in areas under the influence of the Northeasterly Windflow, especially in Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon, should remain alert for sudden heavy rains that could lead to hazardous conditions. Meanwhile, those in Metro Manila and other parts of the country should monitor for potential thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening, as these could bring localized heavy downpours.
