Shear line to bring rain showers over parts of Visayas, Mindanao

A shear line is affecting the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao on Monday and will bring rain showers over several areas, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Southern Leyte, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line. Moderate to at times heavy rains may lead to flash floods or landslides.

Meanwhile, the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) is affecting Luzon and the rest of Visayas.

Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol Region will have cloudy skies with light rains brought about by the Northeast Monsoon.

Metro Manila, Western Visayas, and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains also due to the monsoon.

The rest of the country on the other hand may expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the shear line and localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may possibly occur.

Coastal waters will be rough in the eastern sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and moderate to rough in the rest of the country.
