The Philippines can expect a mix of weather conditions today, May 30, 2026, with scattered rains and thunderstorms possible across various regions. According to the latest forecast from PAGASA, Severe Tropical Storm "DOMENG" (JANGMI) is currently located far east of Northern Luzon, influencing weather patterns in the northern part of the country. Meanwhile, a southwesterly windflow is bringing moisture and instability to Visayas, Mindanao, and parts of Southern Luzon.
Luzon Weather Forecast
In Luzon, the Bicol Region, Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Cagayan, and Quezon are expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. This weather is due to the trough of Severe Tropical Storm "DOMENG." Residents in these areas should be prepared for possible flash floods or landslides, especially during periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. These localized thunderstorms can bring sudden downpours and potential flooding in localized areas. It is advised to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions.
Northern Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast to northwest, potentially causing moderate to rough coastal waters with wave heights between 1.2 to 2.8 meters. Central Luzon and the eastern section of Southern Luzon will have light to moderate winds from the northwest to west, with slight to moderate coastal waters (0.6 to 2.1 meters).
Visayas Weather Forecast
Visayas will also experience varying weather conditions. Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Samar are forecast to have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough of STS DOMENG. Western Visayas and Negros Island Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by the southwesterly windflow. These areas are also at risk of flash floods and landslides.
Mindanao Weather Forecast
Mindanao is also under the influence of the southwesterly windflow. The Zamboanga Peninsula, SOCCSKSARGEN, BARMM, and Lanao del Norte can expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. As with other regions affected by this weather pattern, there is a risk of flash floods and landslides.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions
Across the rest of the country, PAGASA forecasts light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to west. Coastal waters are expected to be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 1.8 meters.
