Based on the Daily Weather Forecast from PAGASA issued at 4:00AM of May 14, 2022, SOCCSKSARGEN will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms due to ITCZ. Severe thunderstorms may trigger landslides in elevated and mountainous areas and wide-spread flooding along low-lying areas adjacent to river systems. Flash floods are also possible along hilly to mountainous areas with narrow streams and rivers. Low-lying coastal municipalities and barangays within the region may experience inundation due to light to moderate southeast to south winds with slight to moderate (0.6 to 1.2 meters) wave heights.
This Office encourages the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Offices (LDRRMOs) in the region to refer to the MGB-XII geohazard maps and information in identifying safe areas for evacuation and appropriate evacuation routes.
