MANILA – Visayas and Masbate will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Sunday.

In its 4 a.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA said the easterlies, known as warm and humid winds from the Pacific Ocean, may cause flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

It said the ridge of high-pressure area is affecting eastern sections of Central and Southern Luzon.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

Light to moderate winds headed south to southwest will blow over Luzon, with slight to moderate seas.

Visayas and Mindanao will have light winds moving southeast to south and east to southeast, respectively, with slight coastal waters.

The temperature will range from 26.0 °C to 33.7°C. (PNA)
