As of 4:00 AM on February 6, 2024, the weather forecast for the Philippines reveals a diverse set of conditions influenced by easterlies affecting the eastern section of the country.
In the areas of Davao Region, Caraga, and SOCCSKSARGEN, residents can expect cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. These weather patterns are attributed to the easterlies, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
Meanwhile, in Metro Manila and the rest of the country, the forecast predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. This condition is also caused by easterlies and localized thunderstorms, with potential impacts including flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
Wind and coastal water conditions vary across different regions. In Northern Luzon, moderate to strong winds from the east to northeast are anticipated, resulting in moderate to rough coastal waters with heights ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 meters. In the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, similar wind speeds and directions are expected, leading to moderate to rough coastal waters ranging from 1.2 to 2.8 meters. For the rest of the country, light to moderate winds from the east to northeast will prevail, with slight to moderate coastal waters ranging from 0.6 to 2.5 meters.
The forecast specifically highlights the regions of Bicol, Northern Samar, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon, where partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected. Residents in these areas should be cautious as moderate to strong winds from the East to Northeast may prevail, accompanied by moderate to rough seas.
