The Philippines can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with a chance of isolated thunderstorms nationwide, according to the latest forecast from PAGASA, issued at 4:00 AM on April 5, 2026, and valid until 4:00 AM tomorrow. These isolated thunderstorms may bring heavy downpours, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas.
Luzon Weather Forecast
In Northern and Central Luzon, the ridge of a High Pressure Area (HPA) is extending over the region. This will contribute to partly cloudy to cloudy skies. While widespread rainfall is not anticipated, isolated thunderstorms remain a possibility. Residents should be aware of the potential for localized heavy rainfall events that could lead to rapid water accumulation.
For the rest of Luzon, similar conditions are expected: partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. It is important to stay informed about local weather conditions, especially if you are in an area known for flooding or landslides.
Visayas Weather Forecast
The Visayas region can also anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. While the overall risk of widespread severe weather is low, localized heavy rainfall events are possible. Be aware of changing weather conditions and take precautions if you live in a flood-prone area.
Mindanao Weather Forecast
Mindanao shares a similar forecast with the rest of the country: partly cloudy to cloudy skies with the potential for isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. As with other regions, the main concern is localized heavy rainfall that could lead to flash floods or landslides. Stay informed and take necessary precautions.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions
Across Northern and Central Luzon, winds are expected to be light to moderate, coming from the southeast to south. Coastal waters will be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 1.5 meters.
In the rest of Luzon, winds will also be light to moderate, blowing from the southeast to northeast. Coastal waters are expected to be slight to moderate, with wave heights between 0.6 and 1.5 meters.
For both the Visayas and Mindanao, light to moderate winds are anticipated, coming from the east to northeast. Coastal waters will be slight to moderate, with wave heights of 0.6 to 1.5 meters.

Safety Precautions During Thunderstorms
PAGASA advises the public to take the following precautions during thunderstorms:
- Monitor Weather Updates: Stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and warnings from PAGASA and your local government.
- Prepare for Possible Evacuation: If you live in a flood- or landslide-prone area, have an evacuation plan in place and be ready to evacuate if necessary.
- Secure Your Home: Before a storm, secure loose objects that could be blown away by strong winds.
- Avoid Waterways: During heavy rainfall, avoid crossing rivers, streams, or other waterways that could be flooded.
- Unplug Electronics: Unplug electronic devices to protect them from power surges caused by lightning.
- Stay Indoors: If possible, stay indoors during thunderstorms. If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a sturdy building. Avoid open fields and tall structures.
- Be Aware of Landslide Signs: Be aware of the signs of a potential landslide, such as cracks in the ground, leaning trees, or unusual sounds. If you observe any of these signs, evacuate immediately.
