MANILA — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecasts cloudy skies and scattered rains across the Philippines on Sunday.

According to Philippines News Agency, the monsoon will impact Luzon, including Metro Manila, and the provinces of Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan. Additionally, the Ilocos Region, Western Visayas, and the Negros Island Region will experience similar weather conditions. These areas are likely to see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, raising concerns about possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

The weather bureau also indicated that the rest of the country would experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms. Residents in these areas are advised to be cautious as flash floods or landslides might occur during severe weather conditions.
