MANILA – The shear line and the northeast monsoon or “amihan” will bring cloudy skies and rains in some areas of the country, the weather bureau said Saturday.

In its 4 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms will prevail over Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and Davao Region due to the shear line.

Flash floods or landslides may occur in these areas due to moderate to at times heavy rains, PAGASA warned.

Meanwhile, cloudy skies with light rains are forecast over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and Quezon due to the northeast monsoon.

The northeast monsoon will likewise bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will be felt over the eastern section of the Visayas and Mindanao, while the rest of the archipelago will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said. (PNA)
