MANILA— Several areas across the country may experience scattered rains and thunderstorms on Thursday due to the easterlies, while the northeast monsoon will bring light rains over parts of Northern Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

The weather bureau warned that moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall in these areas could trigger flash floods or landslides.

Meanwhile, Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies with light rains due to the northeast monsoon, with no significant weather impacts expected.

The Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains, also brought by the northeast monsoon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies. PAGASA cautioned that severe thunderstorms could cause flash floods or landslides.
