Heads up, Pilipinas — three weather systems are ganging up to bring rain across the country in the next 24 hours. PAGASA issued its Sunday afternoon forecast warning of cloudy skies and scattered showers hitting multiple regions.

The shear line is targeting parts of the Visayas along with Sorsogon, Masbate, and Romblon, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the easterlies are affecting Mindanao and Palawan with their own dose of wet weather.

Up north, the Northeast Monsoon or Amihan continues to blanket Quezon and the rest of the Bicol Region with cloudy skies and light rains. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will also see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains courtesy of the same system.

PAGASA warned that these conditions could trigger flash floods or landslides in affected areas, so residents in flood-prone and mountainous zones should stay alert. Winds will be moderate to strong, with coastal waters moderate to rough in the eastern sections of southern Luzon and Visayas.

The good news? PAGASA says these weather conditions won’t have a significant overall impact. But bring your payong just in case — lalo na kung lalabas ka today. Better safe than basa!
