PAGASA warns of rain and thunderstorms in Mindanao and Negros Oriental

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued weather warnings for several regions in the Philippines, citing widespread rain, thunderstorms, and potential hazards.

In Mindanao, localized thunderstorms are expected to bring intermittent rain showers. PAGASA has warned residents in vulnerable communities to remain alert for potential flash floods and landslides caused by sudden, intense downpours. The Zamboanga Peninsula and Northern Mindanao are also expected to experience cloudy skies with rain showers and thunderstorms.

Negros Oriental has faced continuous wet conditions, with forecasts indicating cloudy skies, rainshowers, and thunderstorms persisting through October 12, 2026. These conditions are attributed to moisture-heavy winds from the southeast to southwest rather than a specific named weather system.
