In PAGASA’s latest public forecast, weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said high chance of rains will be expected in the southern portion of Mindanao within the next 24 hours due to the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean. 

PAGASA said Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos), Zamboanga del Sur, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies. 

PAGASA said flash floods or landslides may occur in the affected areas due to moderate to heavy rains. 

In Metro Manila and the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will be expected due to the easterlies or localized thunderstorms. 

The weather bureau also warned the public that flash floods or landslides may occur during severe thunderstorms. 

Meanwhile, Villamil said hot and humid weather will persist in most parts of the country over the next three days.
