Easterlies, 'amihan' expected to bring rains across PH

Rains will continue to affect several regions across the Philippines on Tuesday due to the combined effects of the easterlies and the northeast monsoon (amihan), according to state weather bureau PAGASA.

In a report by the Philippine News Agency (PNA), PAGASA warned that scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the easterlies are expected over Caraga, Davao Region, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Misamis Oriental, and Camiguin. Residents in these areas are advised to remain vigilant, as moderate to heavy rainfall may trigger flash floods or landslides.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon will bring localized rains to Aurora, Quezon, and Camarines Norte, with light rains expected over Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will see isolated light rains due to the amihan.

The rest of the country can expect isolated rain showers or thunderstorms brought by the easterlies.

PAGASA also reported that northern Luzon, along with the eastern seaboards of central and southern Luzon, will experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters. Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the rest of the archipelago.
