The Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) affecting Luzon and the shear line affecting parts of Visayas ang Mindanao will bring rains over several areas on Sunday, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Oriental will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line. Flash floods or landslides may result due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Bicol Region, Aurora, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon will have cloudy skies with rains due to the monsoon. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly lead to floods or landslides.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon meanwhile will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains due to the Amihan.

The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may possibly result.

Coastal waters will be moderate to rough in the seaboards of Luzon and Visayas, with wave heights possibly reaching up to 5 meters tall.
