Luzon will experience rain showers on Thursday due to the shear line and the northeast monsoon or “amihan” affecting the island, the weather bureau said.

In its 4:00 a.m. forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Palawan, Quezon, and Bicol Region will have scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the shear line.

PAGASA said moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides.

The northeast monsoon will bring light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Apayao, and isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

The rest of the country will continue to experience isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail across Luzon.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said.
