Regions such as Quezon,Marinduque,Oriental Mindoro,and the Bicol Region can anticipate cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the northern monsoon, locally known as the Amihan, will bring partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with rain to Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and the rest of Luzon.Rains Blanket Visayas and Mindanao
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), an area where trade winds converge, is responsible for the expected partly cloudy to cloudy skies with rains or thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, Caraga, Davao Region, and the rest of Mindanao.Localized thunderstorms are predicted to bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to the remaining areas of the Visayas. PAGASA has issued a warning, stating that “moderate to at times heavy rains and thunderstorms will cause flash floods and landslides.”Windy Conditions and Coastal Waters
Strong winds are expected in Northern and Central Luzon, leading to rough seas. The rest of Luzon, as well as the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao, can expect moderate to strong winds and coastal water conditions. The remaining parts of the country will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate coastal waters.

## Archyde Interviews PAGASA on Rainy Monday forecast for the Philippines
**(Manila, Philippines)** – Brace yourselves, Filipinos! A soggy monday is in store for much of the archipelago as several weather systems converge to bring widespread rain, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Archyde spoke to **[guest Name], [Title]** at PAGASA to understand the outlook.
**Archyde:** Thank you for joining us today. Can you give our viewers a more detailed breakdown of which areas will be most affected by the rain?
**PAGASA Representative:** Certainly. The weather pattern is influenced by the shear line across eastern Southern luzon, impacting provinces like Quezon, marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, and the Bicol Region. These areas can expect cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the Northeast Monsoon, or amihan, will bring partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with occasional rain to Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora, and the rest of Luzon. The Visayas and Mindanao are not spared, either.
**Archyde:** What’s causing the rain in those regions?
**PAGASA Representative:** The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), where trade winds collide, is the main culprit for the rain in Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, Caraga, Davao Region, and the rest of Mindanao.
Localized thunderstorms are also predicted to bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to the remaining parts of the Visayas.
**Archyde:** That’s quite a wide area. Are there any specific warnings for people in these regions?
**PAGASA Representative:** Absolutely. We’d like to emphasize that “moderate to, at times, heavy rains and thunderstorms are expected,” which can lead to flash floods and landslides. We urge residents in these areas to take necessary precautions, stay informed, and heed any local advisories.
**archyde:**
And what about the coastal areas? are they facing any particular risks?
**PAGASA Representative:** Yes, strong winds are expected in Northern and Central Luzon, leading to rough seas. We advise fishermen and those engaging in sea travel in these areas to exercise caution and consider postponing their trips if possible.
**Archyde:**
Thank you for sharing this vital information with our viewers, Alex Reed. Hopefully, people will stay informed and remain safe during this rainy period.
**PAGASA Representative:** You’re welcome. Let’s all weather this storm together.
