Northeasterly surface windflow to bring clouds, rains over Batanes

Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains on Wednesday due to the northeasterly surface windflow, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country meanwhile may expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may result.

PAGASA said the low pressure area it was monitoring inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) dissipated as of 2 a.m. on Wednesday.

The weather bureau also said the tropical depression it was monitoring outside PAR "still remains UNLIKELY to enter the PAR."

As of 3 a.m., it was located 2,755 km east northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h near the center and with gustiness of up to 70 km/h. The tropical depression was moving northeastward at 15 km/h.

Coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.
