PAGASA Says Shear Line and Amihan to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the shear line and the northeast monsoon will bring rains over some parts of the country.
On Saturday (January 13, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The shear line and the northeast monsoon will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that the shear line will affect the eastern section of the Visayas while the Amihan will affect Luzon and the rest of the Visayas.
The shear line will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Surigao del Norte, and Dinagat Islands.
Possible flash floods or landslides are expected in these areas due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
The northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies with light rains over Mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Bicol Region, and Western Visayas.
“Samantala ito namang northeast monsoon o hanging amihan ay patuloy pa ngang lumakas at sa kasalukuyan ay naaapektuhan na nito ang buong Luzon at nalalabing bahagi ng Visayas. Dahil sa shear line makakaranas tayo ng kalat-kalat na pag-ulan na may pagkulog at pagkidlat sa silangang bahagi ng Visayas at itong Northeastern section ng Mindanao,” PAGASA Weather Specialist Daniel James E. Villamil said.
Amihan will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. The localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather conditions over the rest of Mindanao.
Flash floods or landslides are expected during severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over the eastern sections of Southern Luzon and Visayas will be rough. The rest of the country will have moderate to rough surrounding sea conditions, according to PAGASA.
