January 10, 2026 – Mindanao — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has warned of cloudy skies, scattered rains, and thunderstorms across several parts of Mindanao as the Easterlies continue to affect the region, with heightened risks of flash floods and landslides in Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte.
In its Regional Weather Forecast issued at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 10, PAGASA said Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the prevailing Easterlies. Moderate to at times heavy rains are expected, prompting authorities to caution residents in low-lying and mountainous areas against possible flash floods and landslides.
“The rest of Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms also due to Easterlies,” PAGASA reported. “There is still a possibility of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.”
