Easterlies, Amihan to bring cloudy skies, rain over parts of PH

Cloud skies and rain will persist in several areas in the country in the next 24 hours due to the easterlies and Northeast Monsoon (Amihan), PAGASA said Wednesday afternoon.

According to its 4 p.m. weather forecast, Caraga, Davao de Oro, and Davao Oriental will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies.

The easterlies will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

PAGASA warned that these weather conditions may trigger flash floods and landslides.

Meanwhile, the Amihan will affect the weather conditions of Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Apayao, but with no significant impact.

State meteorologists also said winds will be moderate to strong, while coastal waters will be moderate to rough in Northern Luzon.

The rest of the country will experience light to moderate rains and slight to moderate coastal waters.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 6:11 a.m. on Thursday. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
