As of 4:00 PM today, the weather forecast indicates a dynamic atmospheric pattern influencing different regions of the Philippines. The synoptic situation reveals a Shear Line affecting the eastern sections of Southern Luzon and Visayas, while the Northeast Monsoon prevails in the rest of Luzon.
Bicol Region, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Samar: Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected in these areas. This weather condition is attributed to the Shear Line, bringing moderate to heavy rains. Residents are advised to stay vigilant as there is a possibility of flash floods or landslides due to the continuous precipitation.
Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Aurora, and Quezon: Cloudy skies with light rains are anticipated in these regions due to the influence of the Northeast Monsoon. While the rains are expected to be light, residents are reminded to exercise caution. Fortunately, no significant impact is foreseen.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon: The weather forecast for Metro Manila and the remaining parts of Luzon includes partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains. The Northeast Monsoon is the primary cause, but no significant impact is expected. Residents can anticipate a relatively calm weather scenario.
Mindanao and the rest of Visayas: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are predicted in Mindanao and the rest of Visayas. The presence of Easterlies and Localized Thunderstorms contributes to this weather pattern.
