MANILA – Isolated rain showers will continue to affect most areas across the Philippines, according to the weather bureau on Wednesday (05 June 2024).

A trough of a low-pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the provinces of Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) indicated that these areas could experience moderate to heavy rains, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

“The rest of the country will experience warm and humid weather at noon, with isolated rain showers likely,” said PAGASA forecaster Obet Badrina.

He noted that the country is currently experiencing a monsoon break, as not much rain has been observed despite the onset of the rainy season.

Badrina also mentioned that no tropical cyclones are expected to affect or enter the country throughout the week.

The southwest monsoon, or habagat, is expected to bring rains to several parts of the country over the weekend.

Meanwhile, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the archipelago, PAGASA added.
