Residents in southern Luzon, Philippines, should brace for potential flooding and landslides as easterly winds bring significant rainfall to the region. Areas such as Quezon, Rizal, Laguna, Aurora, the Bicol Region, Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and northern Palawan are particularly at risk of heavy downpours overnight and into Wednesday. While rainfall is generally expected to be light to moderate, some locations could experience more intense weather conditions.
In the Visayas, Western Visayas is forecast to receive the most rainfall, with Eastern Visayas also experiencing cloudy skies, scattered showers, and thunderstorms. The threat of moderate to heavy rain in these regions heightens the risk of flash floods and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.
Northern Luzon will see a mix of partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rain due to northeasterly winds. Meanwhile, Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and other parts of Calabarzon may encounter partly cloudy conditions with occasional isolated showers and localized thunderstorms.
Across Mindanao, the weather is expected to remain generally fair in the morning, transitioning to partly cloudy to sunny skies. However, localized thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon and evening, especially in Northern Mindanao, the Caraga region, and the northern Zamboanga Peninsula.
Authorities advise residents in flood and landslide-prone areas to remain vigilant, monitor weather updates, and exercise caution during heavy rain periods. Carrying umbrellas and being prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions are also recommended for those residing in affected regions.
