Rainy Sunday Ahead for Parts of the Philippines
The Philippine Atmospheric,Geophysical and Astronomical Services Governance (PAGASA) predicts a wet Sunday for some areas of the country,thanks to the combined influence of the northeast monsoon,locally known as “amihan,” and the easterlies.
Residents of Northern Luzon and Mindanao can expect overcast skies and intermittent showers throughout the day. The easterlies, prevailing winds from the east, will contribute to the moisture in the air, increasing the likelihood of rainfall. Simultaneously occurring, the amihan, a seasonal wind pattern that blows from northeast Asia, will further enhance the chances of precipitation in these regions.
While the rest of the country is expected to experience mostly fair weather, PAGASA advises residents in the affected areas to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions against potential flooding and landslides.
