Philippines Weather Forecast Shows Heavy Rainfall Expected in Several Regions
MANILA, Philippines — As the new week dawns, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a comprehensive weather forecast for Friday, January 3, detailing multiple weather systems affecting various parts of the nation.
Impact of Easterlies on Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and Quezon
One of the primary weather systems impacting the country is the easterlies, a wind pattern coming from the east. These winds will bring cloudy skies and rain to the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and Quezon. Local residents in these areas should be cautious of potential flash floods or landslides brought on by heavy rainfall.
Shear Line Forecast for Northern Luzon
In addition to the easterlies, a shear line—a meteorological phenomenon where cold and warm air masses meet—will affect Apayao, Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora. This system will result in overcast skies and scattered rains. The shear line will also impact Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley, albeit with only partly cloudy skies and isolated showers.
Heaviest Rainfall Expected in Cagayan and Isabela
The heaviest rainfall warning is issued by PAGASA for Cagayan and Isabela, which are expected to experience moderate to heavy rains from January 2 to January 3, necessitating additional caution.
Rainy Outlook for Batanes
For those residing in Batanes, expect cloudy skies with rain due to the northeast monsoon.
Metro Manila and Nationwide Weather Update
For Metro Manila and the rest of the country, conditions will remain mostly stable with partly cloudy skies and isolated rains.
Weather Bureau’s Ongoing Monitoring
According to PAGASA, there are no low-pressure areas within or outside the Philippine area of responsibility that warrant additional warnings. Despite the absence of gale warnings, PAGASA advises seafarers in northern Luzon to exercise caution while navigating the waters.
