Cloudy skies, scattered rains due to easterlies to prevail across PH

The easterlies will continue to bring cloudy skies and rain in several areas in the country within the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Thursday afternoon.

According to its 4 p.m. weather forecast, the state weather bureau said cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will persist in Mindanao due to the easterlies.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will be observed in Metro Manila and the rest of the country, also due to the easterlies.

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

State meteorologists also said winds will be light to moderate, while coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:56 a.m. on Friday. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/LDF, GMA Integrated News
