Rains will continue across several areas in the Philippines due to the effects of shear line and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the state weather bureau said on Monday.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), moderate to heavy rains will affect Cagayan, Apayao, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Palawan, Sorsogon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Zamboanga del Norte, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, and Dinagat Islands.
Meanwhile, moderate to heavy rains will hit Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Albay, Sorsogon, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte on January 1.
“Forecast rainfall may be higher in mountainous and elevated areas. Moreover, impacts in some areas may be worsened by significant antecedent rainfall,” it said.
Pagasa also mentioned that no low pressure area is being monitored within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) for tropical cyclone formation.
