The Philippines can expect a mix of partly cloudy skies, isolated rain, and potential thunderstorms as the easterlies continue to affect the country. PAGASA, in its 24-hour public weather forecast issued at 4:00 AM on April 2, 2026, and valid until 4:00 AM tomorrow, indicates that these weather conditions are expected nationwide.
Luzon Weather Forecast
In Northern Luzon, specifically Batanes, PAGASA forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeasterly windflow. Meanwhile, the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Cagayan Valley should anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. Residents in these areas are advised to be vigilant for potential flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
For the rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, PAGASA predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies. The public is encouraged to stay updated on local weather conditions and take necessary precautions.
Visayas Weather Forecast
The Visayas region will also experience the effects of the easterlies. PAGASA forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms across the region. As with other parts of the country, there's a risk of flash floods or landslides during intense thunderstorms. Residents are urged to monitor for local advisories and be prepared.
Mindanao Weather Forecast
Mindanao is also under the influence of the easterlies. PAGASA's forecast indicates partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. Similar to the Visayas, the risk of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms remains a concern. Residents should stay informed and exercise caution.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions
PAGASA reports varying wind conditions across the country. In extreme Northern Luzon, winds are expected to be moderate to strong, coming from the northeast to east. This may result in moderate to rough coastal waters, with wave heights ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 meters. Mariners are advised to take caution.
In Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, winds are expected to be light to moderate, blowing from the east to northeast. Coastal waters in these regions will likely be slight to moderate, with wave heights between 0.6 and 1.5 meters.
For the rest of Luzon, winds will be light to moderate, coming from the northeast to southeast. Coastal waters are expected to be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 1.5 meters.
