Today’s weather forecast paints a diverse picture across the Philippines, with various regions experiencing different weather conditions influenced by both the Northeast Monsoon and Easterlies. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Davao Region, Caraga, Aurora, and Quezon: Cloudy skies dominate these areas with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. This weather pattern is driven by the Easterlies, which may result in moderate to heavy rains. Consequently, there’s a risk of flash floods or landslides, especially in areas experiencing heavy downpours.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region: These regions can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, attributed to the Northeast Monsoon. However, the impact is expected to be minimal, with no significant disruptions foreseen.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies are forecasted with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. The weather here is influenced by both Easterlies and Localized Thunderstorms. Similar to other areas affected by Easterlies, there’s a risk of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
Forecast Wind and Coastal Water Conditions: Moderate to strong winds from the East to Northeast will prevail over Luzon and the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao, leading to moderate to rough coastal waters. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds from the same direction, resulting in slight to moderate coastal waters.
Additional Synopsis and Forecast: The Visayas, Palawan (including Kalayaan Islands), and Occidental Mindoro are expected to have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and/or thunderstorms due to Easterlies/Localized Thunderstorms. Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are anticipated in these areas.
For the Bicol region, Northern Samar, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with rain showers or thunderstorms are expected. Moderate to strong winds from the East to Northeast will prevail, accompanied by moderate to rough seas.
While some regions may experience more severe weather conditions due to Easterlies or Northeast Monsoon, others will see relatively milder weather. It’s essential for residents in areas prone to heavy rains and thunderstorms to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions against potential hazards such as flash floods and landslides. Coastal communities should also be cautious of rough sea conditions. Stay updated with local weather advisories for any changes in the forecast throughout the day.
