The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued its 24-hour public weather forecast, indicating that easterlies are currently affecting weather conditions across the Philippines. The forecast, issued at 4:00 AM on March 25, 2026, is valid until 4:00 AM tomorrow, March 26, 2026.
National Weather Overview
Nationwide, Filipinos should prepare for potential rainfall. While widespread, continuous rain is not predicted, many areas are susceptible to scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. PAGASA advises taking precautions against potential flash floods and landslides, especially in areas prone to these hazards. Stay informed about local weather conditions and advisories.
Regional Forecasts
Luzon
For Bicol Region and Quezon province, expect cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Residents and travelers in these areas should be aware of the possibility of flash floods and landslides, particularly in low-lying areas and near rivers. The rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. Exercise caution during these isolated events, as heavy downpours can lead to localized flooding.
Visayas
In Marinduque, Romblon, northern Samar, and Eastern Samar, PAGASA forecasts cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Similar to the Bicol Region, the primary concern is potential flash floods and landslides. The rest of the Visayas can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. Monitor local conditions for any developing weather disturbances.
Mindanao
Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. While the risk of widespread flooding is low, isolated heavy rainfall events can still pose a threat. Take precautions, especially in urban areas with poor drainage.
Wind and Coastal Conditions
Across much of the Philippines, including Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, light to moderate winds are expected, blowing from the Northeast to Southeast. Coastal waters will be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 2.1 meters. Small sea craft should exercise caution, especially in areas exposed to stronger winds.
For the rest of Luzon, light to moderate winds will blow from the Southeast to South.
Temperature and Humidity
Yesterday, the maximum temperature recorded at the PAGASA Weather Station in Science Garden, Diliman, Quezon City was 32.1°C at 4:00 PM. The minimum temperature was 19.2°C at 6:00 AM. The relative maximum humidity was 84% at 5:00 AM, while the relative minimum humidity was 42% at 4:00 PM.
Safety Precautions
- Stay Informed: Monitor PAGASA's official website and social media channels for the latest weather updates and advisories.

- Avoid Flood-Prone Areas: If you live in or are traveling to an area prone to flooding, be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
- Exercise Caution While Driving: Reduce speed and increase following distance when driving in wet conditions. Turn on your headlights to improve visibility.
- Secure Your Home: Before a heavy rainfall event, secure loose objects around your home that could be blown away or damaged by strong winds.
- Be Aware of Landslide Risks: If you live in a mountainous area, be aware of the risk of landslides, especially after prolonged periods of heavy rain.
