MANILA – The southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat,” will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to the Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan, according to an early morning forecast from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday (10 Sept 2024).
Residents in these areas are advised to be cautious of potential flooding or landslides due to moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall.
Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon are also expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms brought by the southwest monsoon. PAGASA has issued a warning for possible flash floods and landslides in case of severe thunderstorms.
In the Visayas and Mindanao, localized thunderstorms will result in partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. Light to moderate winds will prevail from the southwest, with coastal waters expected to be slight to moderate.
Across Luzon, winds will blow lightly to moderately from the southwest to the west, with similarly slight to moderate sea conditions.
Stay updated and exercise caution during weather disturbances.
