December 29, 2025 — Mindanao — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warns Mindanao residents of continued wet weather conditions as Easterlies—warm winds coming from the Pacific—are expected to bring scattered rains and thunderstorms in several areas beginning 5:00 AM today until 5:00 AM tomorrow.
According to PAGASA’s Mindanao Regional Services Division (MINPRSD), Caraga Region and Davao Oriental will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, with moderate to at times heavy rains that may trigger flash floods and landslides, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas.
The rest of Mindanao, including Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region provinces, SOCCSKSARGEN, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, still due to the prevailing Easterlies. Severe thunderstorms may also lead to localized flooding and landslides.
Winds and Sea Conditions
Light to moderate winds from the east to northeast are expected throughout the day, with slight to moderate coastal waters ranging from 0.6 to 2.5 meters, making sea travel generally safe but still requiring caution from small sea vessels.
Temperature Range by Area
Mindanao provinces will continue to experience warm and humid weather between rains, with temperatures ranging mostly from:
- Zamboanga Peninsula: 24°C to 32°C
- Northern Mindanao (including Bukidnon, Camiguin, Misamis provinces, Lanao del Norte): 21°C to 32°C
- Davao Region: 24°C to 32°C
- SOCCSKSARGEN: 24°C to 33°C
- BARMM provinces: 21°C to 34°C
- Caraga Region: 24°C to 34°C
Residents are advised to stay alert for sudden downpours and lightning during thunderstorms, particularly in coastal and upland communities historically prone to flooding and landslides.
PAGASA encourages the public to monitor further bulletins and updates through official communication channels and to coordinate with local disaster risk reduction offices for precautionary measures.
