MANILA — The southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat,” continues to bring scattered rains and thunderstorms over parts of Luzon, particularly Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Saturday (07 Sept 2024).

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated showers or thunderstorms due to the same weather system.

Localized thunderstorms will also cause isolated rain showers across the rest of the country. Luzon will experience moderate to strong winds and rough seas, while lighter winds and calmer seas are expected in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Temperatures for key areas include Metro Manila (25°C to 29°C), Baguio City (17°C to 21°C), and Metro Cebu (25°C to 32°C).
