Easterlies to bring rains over parts of Visayas, Mindanao — PAGASA

The easterlies will continue to affect Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, bringing cloudy skies and rain showers in parts of the country over the next 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Sunday.

In its 4 a.m. forecast, PAGASA said Caraga, Eastern Samar, and Southern Leyte will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, which may trigger possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to at times heavy rains.

Batanes, meanwhile, will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms caused by a frontal system, with similar risks of flooding or landslides.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.

PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms could still bring flash floods or landslides.

Data from PAGASA’s Science Garden station in Quezon City showed a maximum temperature of 35.5°C recorded at 2 p.m. on Friday, while the minimum temperature was 25.9°C at 5 a.m. 

Sunrise over Metro Manila on Saturday was at 5:36 a.m., while sunset is expected at 6:12 p.m.—MCG, GMA News
