Rain showers, thunderstorms over Batanes, Babuyan islands – Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Extreme northern Luzon will be experiencing scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms caused by the tail-end of a cold front, the state weather bureau said Sunday.

In its weather bulletin, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Batanes and Babuyan Group of Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms.

Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), the rest of Cagayan Valley, Aurora and Quezon will also experience cloudy skies with rain showers and isolated thunderstorms caused by easterlies or wind from the east.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.

Pagasa warned of possible flash floods and landslides during severe thunderstorms in the aforementioned areas.

Ursula, which brought rains over Visayas during Christmas, has weakened to a tropical depression and was last spotted outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) or 895 kilometers (km) west of Central Luzon.
