Rainy weather is expected across the country on Wednesday due to the combined effects of the northeast monsoon or amihan, easterlies, shear line, and the Intertropical Convergence Zone, the state weather bureau said.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the shear line will bring scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Aurora, and Quezon.
Pagasa warned of cloudy skies with rains brought by the northeast monsoon in Batanes, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, and Ifugao.
The amihan will also cause isolated light rains over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, the rest of the Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon.
Pagasa said the Intertropical Convergence Zone is expected to bring scattered rains over Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, Basilan, and Tawi-Tawi.
Meanwhile, scattered rains and thunderstorms due to easterlies will affect Bicol Region, Caraga, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Southern Leyte.
The rest of the country may also experience isolated rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, Pagasa said.
Pagasa advised the public to remain cautious of possible flooding or landslides in areas prone to these hazards.
As of 5 a.m., Pagasa said it is not monitoring any low-pressure area.
No tropical cyclone is expected inside or outside the Philippine area of responsibility, Pagasa added.
