MANILA – More areas are forecast to experience rains due to the northeast monsoon or "amihan," the easterlies, and the shear line, the weather bureau said Friday.
The Bicol Region, and Northern and Eastern Samar will have scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the shear line.
Moderate to heavy rains in those areas may result in flash floods or landslides, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 4 a.m. bulletin.
The northeast monsoon will bring light rains over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Aurora, and Quezon, and isolated light rains over the rest of Luzon.
The easterlies and localized thunderstorms will bring isolated rain showers over the rest of the archipelago.
Meanwhile, strong winds and rough seas continue to prevail over Northern Luzon.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the rest of Luzon and the eastern section of the Visayas.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said. (PNA)
