The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday, Feb. 11 said flash floods or landslides are still possible in parts of Visayas and Mindanao, while light rains may occur in most parts of Luzon.
PAGASA said Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean.
It continued to advise the public to be vigilant against flash floods or landslides that may occur in these areas in times of moderate to heavy rains.
Meanwhile, weather specialist Grace Castañeda said the northeast monsoon or locally known as "amihan," became "slightly strong," and is affecting parts of Luzon.
Castañeda said amihan may bring cloudy skies with light rains to Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region, Kalinga, Apayao, Aurora, and Quezon.
"Bahagya muling lumakas ang northeast monsoon o amihan at sa kasalukuyan ay nakakaapekto ito sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon kung saan ngayong araw ay magdadala ito ng maulap na kalangitan at mataas na tyansa ng mga mahihinang pag-ulan at pag-ambon lalong lalo na sa may silangang bahagi ng Luzon (The northeast monsoon slightly re-strengthened and currently, it affects huge part of Luzon where it brings cloudy skies and high chance of light rains and rain showers especially to the east portion of Luzon)," she said.
In Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and Visayas, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains will prevail caused by amihan. Moreover, PAGASA said the rest of Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies or localized thunderstorms.
It also advised the public to be wary of flash floods or landslides that may occur during severe thunderstorms.
