MANILA — The northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies and rains to parts of Luzon on Tuesday, while easterlies will cause scattered rains and thunderstorms over portions of the Visayas and Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
In its 4 a.m. forecast, PAGASA said Aurora, Quezon, and Camarines Norte will experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon. Moderate to at times heavy rainfall may trigger flash floods or landslides in these areas.
Cloudy skies with light rains are expected over Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region, while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.
Meanwhile, Caraga, the Davao Region, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Misamis Oriental, and Camiguin will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies. Moderate to at times heavy rains may cause flash floods or landslides.
The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, which may also trigger flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
PAGASA said moderate to strong winds from the northeast will prevail over Northern Luzon and the eastern sections of Central and Southern Luzon, bringing moderate to rough coastal waters.
Winds over the Visayas and the rest of Luzon will be light to moderate from the northeast, while Mindanao will experience light to moderate winds from the east to northeast. Coastal waters in these areas will be slight to moderate.
The agency also reported that Typhoon Cempaka (2632), formerly Samuel, was outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility as of 3 a.m. It was located 1,590 kilometers east-northeast of Northern Luzon, packing maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 185 kph.
The typhoon was moving east-northeastward at 20 kph.
PAGASA recorded a minimum temperature of 24.1 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 31.7 degrees Celsius in the 24-hour period ending at 8 p.m. Monday.
In Metro Manila, sunrise is at 5:55 a.m. and sunset at 5:25 p.m. Tuesday. The moon is expected to rise at 6:31 a.m. and set at 5:59 p.m., with 2% illumination.
