PAGASA warns of thunderstorms, flash floods and landslides across Cebu

PAGASA is warning of thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain across Cebu, with the weather conditions capable of triggering flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas.

The advisories cover several parts of Cebu as thunderstorms continue to develop across the province. Heavy rainfall may cause sudden rises in water levels, particularly in rivers and streams in mountainous areas.

For hikers and outdoor visitors, the conditions could affect trails, waterfalls and mountain access roads. River crossings may become hazardous, while saturated slopes can become more susceptible to landslides and falling debris.

Outdoor trips may therefore require extra caution, particularly on routes that pass through steep terrain, streams or areas with a history of flooding and landslides.

PAGASA advises the public to monitor the latest weather updates as conditions can change quickly during periods of thunderstorms.
