MANILA, Philippines — Scattered rains and cloudy skies are expected in some parts of the country due to the northeast monsoon, locally known as "amihan," and the shear line, state weather bureau PAGASA said.
In its weather forecast on Wednesday, January 29, PAGASA said that the shear line will affect Visayas while amihan will affect Luzon.
The Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, and Dinagat Islands will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line.
PAGASA warned residents of possible flash floods or landslides in these areas due to moderate to heavy rains.
Similarly, the shear line will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to Palawan and the rest of Visayas.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora will experience cloudy skies with rains due to the amihan.
The state weather bureau warned residents of these areas of possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to occasionally heavy rains.
The amihan will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains to Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
Meanwhile, the rest of Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
