Several weather systems are affecting different parts of the Philippines on Wednesday, January 7, bringing scattered rains to portions of Luzon and the Visayas.
In an advisory issued at 10 a.m., the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that no low-pressure area (LPA) is being monitored for tropical cyclone formation as of 8 a.m.

In its weather forecast, PAGASA said the shear line continues to affect the eastern section of Southern Luzon, specifically the Bicol Region, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Northern Samar.
These areas are expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms, which may trigger flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said Palawan is under the influence of the trough of a low-pressure area, resulting in cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Residents are advised to remain cautious, as moderate to at times heavy rains could also lead to flash floods or landslides.
In the rest of Eastern Visayas, PAGASA said the prevailing easterlies are bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, with similar risks of flooding or landslides during periods of heavier rainfall.
The northeast monsoon, or amihan, PAGASA said, is affecting the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Cagayan Valley, and Aurora, where cloudy skies with light rains are expected. Weather authorities noted that no significant impacts are anticipated in these areas.
For Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, PAGASA said the amihan will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, also with no significant impact expected.
Across the rest of the country, PAGASA said the easterlies will prevail, causing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. However, localized flash floods or landslides remain possible during severe thunderstorms.
PAGASA noted that while no LPAs are being monitored for possible tropical cyclone development, the public is urged to stay updated on official weather bulletins, particularly those in areas prone to flooding and landslides.
