Flash floods and landslides threaten parts of Southern Luzon and Visayas due to rain from an inter-tropical convergence zone, state weather forecasters said Friday.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) also said a diffused tail-end of a cold front is affecting extreme northern Luzon.

"The western sections of Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rain showers and thunderstorms that may trigger flash floods and landslides," PAGASA said in its 5 a.m. bulletin.

It added the rest of the country will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.

PAGASA said light to moderate winds blowing from the north to northwest will prevail over Luzon and coming from the northwest to west over the rest of the country.

The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate, it added.

Meanwhile, PAGASA said Metro Manila can expect temperatures of between 25 to 35 degrees Friday and Saturday, with mostly cloudy skies and scattered rain showers or thunderstorms.

Tuguegarao City may have similar weather conditions, with temperatures of between 24 and 36 degrees Celsius. — LBG, GMA News
