The Philippines can expect a mix of weather conditions across the archipelago today, May 29, 2026. According to PAGASA, Tropical Storm Domeng and southwesterly windflow are influencing weather patterns in the Visayas and Mindanao, while Luzon faces the possibility of localized thunderstorms.
Regional Weather Forecasts
Visayas
Eastern Visayas and Caraga should prepare for cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. PAGASA warns that these conditions, influenced by the trough of Tropical Storm Domeng, could lead to possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains. Western Visayas and Negros Island Region will also experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to southwesterly windflow, potentially causing flash floods or landslides.
Mindanao
The Zamboanga Peninsula, SOCCSKSARGEN, BARMM, and Lanao del Norte in Mindanao are also under the influence of southwesterly windflow. PAGASA forecasts cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, carrying the risk of flash floods and landslides. Residents in these areas should monitor conditions and take necessary precautions.
Luzon
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. These thunderstorms are expected to be localized, but PAGASA advises vigilance as severe thunderstorms could bring flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas. Palawan will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to southwesterly windflow.
Wind and Coastal Water Conditions
PAGASA reports that Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan will experience light to moderate winds from the southwest to west. Coastal waters in these regions will be slight to moderate, with wave heights between 0.6 and 1.8 meters.
