‘Amihan’, easterlies to drench parts of Phl

Some areas will continue to experience rains due to the easterlies and the northeast monsoon or amihan, the state weather bureau said on Thursday.

Scattered rains and thunderstorms will prevail across Caraga, Davao Region, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, and Misamis Occidental due to the easterlies.

Flash floods or landslides are possible in those areas due to moderate to heavy rains, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 4:00 a.m. bulletin.

The northeast monsoon affecting Luzon will bring rains over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora, and isolated light rains over the rest of the island.

PAGASA said the rest of the archipelago will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by the easterlies.

Meanwhile, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters are forecast to prevail across the eastern sections of the Visayas and Mindanao.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas.

As of 2:00 a.m., no low pressure area was monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation, PAGASA said. (PNA)
