Easterlies to bring cloudy skies, scattered rains, thunderstorms over parts of Luzon

Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and the Bicol Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, PAGASA said Monday afternoon.

In its 24-hour forecast, the weather bureau advised affected residents to prepare for possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rains.

PAGASA said the northeast monsoon will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region.

Visayas and Mindanao, meanwhile, will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.

Flash floods or landslides are also possible during severe thunderstorms, PAGASA warned.

Moreover, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal water conditions will prevail over Northern and Central Luzon, while light to moderate winds and slight to moderate waters will be experienced in Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. — Ma. Angelica Garcia/BM, GMA News
