MANILA, Philippines — The state weather bureau on Friday warned residents living in low-lying areas against flash floods and landslides that may happen due to the effects of northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan, and easterlies.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), overcast skies with rain will prevail over Batanes and Babuyan Islands caused by amihan.
