The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that weather conditions across the country on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, are being influenced by the Northeast Monsoon affecting Luzon and the trough of a Low Pressure Area (LPA) affecting the Visayas and Mindanao.
As of 2:00 AM today, PAGASA is closely monitoring LPA 03a, which is currently located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Weather experts say the disturbance has a high probability of intensifying into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. Although it remains outside the country’s monitoring boundary, its associated trough continues to bring unstable weather to several parts of the Philippines.
Residents in the Visayas, Mindanao, and Masbate can expect cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. These weather conditions are caused by the trough of the LPA. PAGASA warns that moderate to occasionally heavy rains may trigger flash floods or landslides, especially in low-lying communities and mountainous areas.
Meanwhile, the Northeast Monsoon continues to influence large parts of Luzon. Areas including Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, Quezon, and the rest of the Bicol Region will experience cloudy skies accompanied by light rains. However, PAGASA noted that these conditions are not expected to cause significant impacts.
In Metro Manila and the remaining parts of Luzon, residents may encounter partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains also due to the northeast monsoon. These weather conditions are generally manageable and are not expected to disrupt daily activities significantly.
For coastal conditions, moderate to strong northeast winds will affect Northern Luzon and the eastern sections of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and the Visayas. Coastal waters in these areas may become moderate to rough, with wave heights reaching between 2.1 and 3.5 meters. Fisherfolk and small sea vessels are advised to exercise caution when venturing out to sea.
Similarly, the eastern section of Mindanao will experience moderate to strong winds from the northeast to north, with coastal waters ranging from 1.5 to 3.4 meters. The rest of the country will have lighter winds and slight to moderate seas.
Temperature recorded in the past 24 hours ranged from a minimum of 23.8°C early in the morning to a maximum of 30.7°C in the afternoon. Relative humidity ranged between 48 percent and 82 percent.
PAGASA has also issued General Flood Advisories for several regions in the Visayas and Mindanao, urging residents to remain alert for possible flooding due to continuous rainfall. Authorities encourage the public to monitor official updates and take precautionary measures as weather conditions may change rapidly.
