Cloudy skies, rains to prevail over parts of PH

The shear line will bring rains over Southern Luzon and the eastern sections of Visayas while the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) will affect the rest of Luzon, PAGASA said Sunday afternoon.

In its weather forecast, the state weather bureau said Visayas, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line.

These conditions may result in moderate to heavy rains that could trigger flash floods or landslides.

Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will persist over Caraga, Davao Region, and Northern Mindanao due to the Easterlies.

Meanwhile, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora see cloudy skies with rains over due to the Amihan.

These moderate to at times heavy rains may cause flash floods or landslides.

The Amihan will also cause partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, with no significant weather impact expected.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will be observed throughout the rest of Mindanao due to the Easterlies.

Residents of affected areas are warned of possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

State meteorologists also said winds will be strong to gale while coastal waters will be rough to very rough in Northern Luzon and the eastern sections of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas.

The rest of Luzon and Visayas will see moderate to strong wind conditions and moderate to rogue coastal water conditions.

Winds will be light to moderate while coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the rest of the country.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 6:25 a.m. on Monday.—Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
