The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has issued its weather forecast for Monday, April 14, 2025, warning residents in parts of Luzon and Mindanao of possible flash floods and landslides due to expected rains.
A frontal system is currently affecting Extreme Northern Luzon, bringing cloudy skies with rain over Batanes, Cagayan, and Apayao. These rains, which may become moderate to at times heavy, could lead to flash floods or landslides, particularly in mountainous or low-lying areas.
Meanwhile, the Zamboanga Peninsula, along with the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. These weather conditions are caused by easterlies—warm winds blowing from the Pacific Ocean—which are also expected to bring potential flash floods or landslides in areas hit by heavy downpours.
For Metro Manila and the rest of the country, the weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, also due to easterlies. Pagasa cautioned that severe thunderstorms may still result in sudden flooding or landslides, especially in vulnerable areas.
In terms of wind and sea conditions, Northern Luzon will experience moderate winds blowing from the north to northwest, resulting in moderate coastal waters with wave heights between 1.5 to 2.1 meters. The rest of Luzon will have light to moderate winds from the southeast to northeast, with slight to moderate seas (0.6 to 1.8 meters).
The remainder of the country will likewise see light to moderate winds coming from the east to northeast, with similar slight to moderate coastal conditions.
Temperature-wise, the maximum temperature recorded during the 24 hours ending at 4:00 PM today was 34.7°C, observed at 3:00 PM. The coolest temperature dipped to 24.9°C at 6:00 AM. Relative humidity ranged from a high of 92% at 5:00 AM to a low of 43% at 3:00 PM.
Pagasa continues to monitor the weather systems and advises the public to remain alert for updates and potential advisories, especially in areas prone to flooding and landslides.
