MANILA – The weather bureau reported Tuesday (06 Aug 2024) that the Visayas and large parts of Luzon will continue to experience rains due to the southwest monsoon, or habagat.
Scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected over Metro Manila, Western Visayas, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan.
The rest of the Visayas, Bicol Region, Mimaropa, and Calabarzon will see isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
Moderate to heavy rains and severe thunderstorms could lead to flash floods or landslides in affected areas, warned the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Elsewhere in the country, localized thunderstorms will bring isolated rain showers.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail throughout the archipelago.
Meanwhile, a low-pressure area (LPA) tracked 835 km east-northeast of extreme Northern Luzon remains far from land and is not currently affecting any part of the country, according to PAGASA forecaster Rhea Torres. The LPA has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone.
