MANILA — Moderate to heavy rain showers are expected to affect parts of Metro Manila and nearby provinces on Sunday, coinciding with the All Saints' Day holiday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration warned Sunday afternoon.
Pagesa issued a thunderstorm advisory at 1:50 p.m., alerting residents and authorities to prepare for potentially intense precipitation across the region. The agency did not specify which areas would be most heavily impacted, though the advisory covered a broad swath of the capital region and its environs.
The rainfall poses potential hazards for those visiting cemeteries and conducting All Saints' Day activities, with risks including flash floods in low-lying areas and reduced visibility on roadways. Motorists and pedestrians were urged to exercise caution and avoid waterlogged routes.
