Easterlies to bring rains in Eastern Visayas, Northeastern Mindanao

Cloudy skies and rain will prevail in several areas in the country in the next 24 hours due to the easterlies, PAGASA said Monday afternoon.

According to its 4 p.m. weather forecast, the state weather bureau said cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will be observed in Eastern Visayas, Surigao del Norte, and Dinagat Islands due to the easterlies.

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

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

As of 2:00 p.m. PAGASA said "no Low Pressure Areas (LPA) are being monitored for Tropical Cyclone Formation."

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 5:35 a.m. on Tuesday. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA News
