PAGASA warns of rain and thunderstorms in Negros Oriental and Mindanao

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued weather warnings for several regions in the Philippines. In Negros Oriental, intermittent rainshowers and possible thunderstorms are expected from early morning through the following dawn, driven by the northeast monsoon, locally known as the amihan.

In Mindanao, the easterlies are expected to bring scattered rains and thunderstorms. Caraga and Davao Oriental face a higher risk of frequent rainfall, which could trigger flash floods and landslides in vulnerable communities. Other areas, including the Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), are forecast to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
