Rains will continue to prevail across Luzon and Eastern Visayas due to the northeast monsoon and the shear line, the weather bureau said Monday.
Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas will experience scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line.
Rains caused by the northeast monsoon will prevail over Cagayan Valley, Apayao, Aurora, and Quezon.
These areas may experience flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA forecast Mindanao, the rest of the Visayas, and Palawan to have isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms. Floods or landslides are also possible in these areas during severe thunderstorms.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have light rains caused by the northeast monsoon.
Meanwhile, the whole country will experience moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas.
Rough to very rough seas will prevail over the northern, eastern, western and southern seaboards of Luzon, the eastern seaboards of Southern Luzon, and the eastern and western seaboards of the Visayas.
PAGASA advised fishing boats and other small seacraft not to venture into the sea, and larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves. (PNA)
