Cloudy skies, rain expected all over PH due to Habagat
The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring cloudy skies and rain over several areas in the country in the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Thursday afternoon.
According to its 4 p.m. daily weather forecast, the state weather bureau said the affected areas are Mindanao, Western Visayas, Negros Islands Region, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, and Oriental Mindoro.
These moderate to at times heavy rains may cause flash floods or landslides.
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will also persist over the rest of Visayas, also due to the Habagat.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will observe similar weather conditions due to localized thunderstorms.
These severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides.
Meanwhile, PAGASA continues to monitor the tropical depression outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
At 3 p.m., it was located 1,215 kilometers west of extreme Northern Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour and gustiness of 55 km/h, and moving northwestward at 15 km/h.
State meteorologists also said winds will be light to moderate, while coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.
Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:30 a.m. on Friday. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News

No tsunami threat from Davao Occidental quake —PHIVOLCS
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Saturday said there is no tsunami threat following the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that occurred offshore Davao Occidental. "No destructive tsunami threat exists based on available data. This is for information purposes only and there is no tsunami threat to the Philippines from this earthquake," PHIVOLCS said in its Tsunami Information No. 1. "However, earthquakes of this size may generate unusual sea level disturbances that may be observed along coasts near earthquake epicenter of Davao Occidental and nearby provinces," it added. The magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck at 7:07 a.m. in the waters off Sarangani Island in the municipality of Sarangani in Davao Occidental. The quake had a depth of 10 km and was tectonic in origin. Intensity V was felt in Malungon, Sarangani, PHIVOLCS said. Meanwhile, Intensity IV was recorded in Kiamba in Sarangani, and General Santos City in South Cotabato.
