Mindanao — Most parts of Mindanao will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms from 5:00 a.m. today, January 29, until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, according to the latest Regional Weather Forecast issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA said the prevailing weather condition is being caused by localized thunderstorms, which may trigger flash floods or landslides, particularly in low-lying areas and mountainous or landslide-prone communities during periods of heavy rainfall.
Across the island, light to moderate winds from the northeast to north will prevail, while coastal waters are expected to remain slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 2.5 meters, generally favorable for fishing and sea travel, though caution is still advised during thunderstorms.
