Moderate to Heavy Rain Expected in Calabarzon
Residents in the Calabarzon region should prepare for moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms within the next two hours this Tuesday afternoon. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued this forecast, urging communities in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon to remain vigilant.
Weather officials reported that the early onset of heavy rain and thunderstorms in Calabarzon could trigger flash floods and landslides. Consequently, local leaders emphasized the importance of taking necessary precautions to ensure safety, especially in vulnerable areas.
Possible Flash Floods and Landslides Ahead
Due to the expected weather conditions, authorities reminded residents to monitor local updates closely. Community members noted that heavy rainfall combined with unstable terrain increases the risk of sudden landslides. Moreover, urban areas with poor drainage may experience flash flooding during the storms.
In response, emergency services remain on alert and ready to assist affected communities. Officials reported that early warnings have been disseminated to help mitigate the impact of these weather disturbances in Calabarzon.
Weather Patterns Influencing the Region
The intensified rain and thunderstorms result from the interaction between the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the northeasterly wind flow. Meteorologists explained that this combination fuels heavy precipitation over the Calabarzon area, sustaining the current weather threat.
Residents are advised to stay indoors when possible and avoid traveling during peak rainfall periods. Additionally, securing loose objects and preparing emergency kits can help minimize risks associated with the approaching storms.
