The northeast monsoon and easterlies are expected to bring rains over large parts of the country, posing risks of flooding and landslides, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Thursday.

Areas such as Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao and Aurora are expected to experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon, PAGASA said in its 4:00 a.m. weather advisory.

These areas are warned of possible flash floods and landslides during moderate to occasionally heavy rains.

Meanwhile, the easterlies are expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, Quezon, Camarines Norte and Catanduanes.

PAGASA warned of possible flash floods and landslides in these areas due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country are expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.

Possible flash floods and landslides may occur during severe thunderstorms.

PAGASA is not monitoring any tropical cyclone within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) after tropical cyclone Cempaka, formerly locally known as Samuel, exited the agency’s monitoring domain. — Edg Adrian A. Eva
