The shear line and northeast monsoon are still expected to bring rain showers and thunderstorms over the eastern part of the country, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday, Feb. 1.
Eastern Visayas and Caraga may experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line—the boundary between cold air from the northeast monsoon and warm air from the easterlies.
The northeast monsoon, or “amihan,” may also bring cloudy and rain weather over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol Region.
Those in areas affected by the shear line and amihan are advised to remain vigilant during moderate to heavy rains as they may cause flooding or landslides.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon and Visayas may experience partly cloudy to cloudy weather with light amihan rains.
The rest of Mindanao may have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA also advised the public to stay vigilant against possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
