PAGASA forecasts rain and thunderstorms across Negros Oriental and Mindanao

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued weather forecasts for Negros Oriental and Mindanao, predicting rain showers and thunderstorms driven by prevailing winds.

In Negros Oriental, the northeast monsoon, or amihan, is expected to bring rain showers and thunderstorms through November 3, 2026. The moisture-laden air from the Pacific and South China Sea interacting with the mountainous terrain of Negros Island is the primary driver. Daytime temperatures are expected to range between 26°C and 32°C, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies throughout the day and overnight.

In Mindanao, most areas are forecast to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or localized thunderstorms. PAGASA has warned residents, particularly those in low-lying or landslide-prone areas, to remain alert for potential flash floods and slope failures during severe thunderstorms. Winds in Mindanao are expected to blow from the east to southeast, with coastal waters remaining slight to moderate.
