Cloudy Skies and Scattered Rains Nationwide on May 31
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will affect various parts of the country on Saturday, May 31. According to local weather experts, a frontal system impacting Extreme Northern Luzon and the ongoing southwest monsoon will bring unsettled weather conditions. This four-word keyphrase, “cloudy skies with scattered rains,” accurately describes the widespread weather expected throughout the day.
Frontal System Influences Extreme Northern Luzon
In the northernmost part of the country, areas like Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains due to a frontal system. This system forms where two air masses of different temperatures and humidity meet, creating a boundary that often causes rain and thunderstorms. Because of this, residents should stay alert for possible flash floods and landslides, especially in flood-prone and mountainous zones.
Southwest Monsoon Brings Rain to Luzon
Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon, locally known as the habagat, continues to affect Luzon. Provinces such as those in the Ilocos Region, Apayao, Abra, Zambales, and Bataan will see similar weather patterns with cloudy skies and scattered showers. Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon will also experience these conditions. Occasional moderate to heavy rains could lead to flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas.
Localized Thunderstorms in Visayas and Mindanao
Further south, the Visayas and Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized weather disturbances. Severe thunderstorms in these regions might also trigger flash floods or landslides, so local residents are advised to monitor weather updates closely.
Overall, the combination of the frontal system and the southwest monsoon means many areas nationwide will face cloudy skies with scattered rains on May 31. The public is encouraged to stay updated through trusted sources and prepare for possible heavy rainfall in certain locations.
