The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday, March 12 said the cloud clusters observed in Luzon and Mindanao may bring rains to certain areas.
In PAGASA’s 4 a.m. live broadcast, weather specialist Rhea Torres said Central Luzon, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Metro Manila, and the eastern portion of Mindanao may expect rains due to the cloud clusters.
“Mayroong namamataang maninipis na mga kaulapan na umiiral na nakakaapekto sa bahagi ng Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and Metro Manila area, so posible ngayong araw, may mga pag-ulang mararanasan mostly sa eastern sections ng Central and Southern Luzon area samantalang itong mga kaulapang namamataan natin ay most likely tatagal ngayong umaga and aaliwalas pagdating ng hapon (Thin cloud clusters were observed, which prevail and affect Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and Metro Manila area, so it is possible today that rains may be felt in the eastern section of Central and Southern Luzon, while these cloud clusters will most likely persist in the morning and fair weather will prevail in the afternoon),” Torres said.
“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng bansa, may namamataan ding mga kaulapan na posibleng makaapekto sa silangang bahagi ng Mindanao area, so possible din iyong mga kalat-kalat na pag-ulan, pagkidlat, at pagkulog (In the rest of the country, cloud clusters were also observed, which may affect eastern portion of Mindanao area, so it is possible to have scattered rains and thunderstorms),” she added.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean, and the northeast monsoon, locally known as “amihan” remain the dominant system in the country.
PAGASA warned the public in Davao Region, Caraga, Aurora and Quezon of threats from flash floods or landslides in times of moderate to heavy rains, as cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be felt due to the easterlies.
In Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains will be expected due to amihan. In Metro Manila and the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will also be felt due to the easterlies or localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA still warned of flash floods or landslides in the affected areas during severe thunderstorms.
