MANILA — Isolated rain showers are expected to prevail across the Philippines on Wednesday (31 July 2024) due to the southwest monsoon (habagat) affecting the western sections of Northern and Central Luzon, along with localized thunderstorms, according to the weather bureau.
“Although the southwest monsoon is weakening, it will continue to bring rains and thunderstorms over the western section of Luzon,” said Obet Badrina, a forecaster from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Areas such as Metro Manila, the Ilocos Region, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, and Bataan are forecasted to experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon.
Badrina also mentioned that localized thunderstorms would likely cause isolated rain showers in the afternoon or evening over the rest of the country.
Additionally, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will persist across the country, according to PAGASA.

MANILA – The southwest monsoon (habagat) will continue to dampen Luzon, the weather bureau said on Tuesday (30 July 2024).
The low-pressure area (LPA) of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has been monitored, and it was last spotted at 480 km. north northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.
“We expect the LPA to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the next hours, and will no longer affect the country,” PAGASA forecaster Rhea Torres said.
Torres added that the LPA has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone and will not strengthen the “habagat” in the next few days.
Scattered rains and thunderstorms that could result in flash floods or landslides are forecast in Ilocos Region and Zambales.
The “habagat” will also cause isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Cordillera Administrative Region, and the provinces of Tarlac, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Batangas, and Occidental Mindoro.
The same weather condition will prevail over the rest of the country due to localized thunderstorms, PAGASA said.
It added that light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will continue to prevail across the archipelago.

MANILA – The southwest monsoon (habagat) will bring rain showers across Luzon today, Monday (29 July 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported.
“It continues to affect the western section of Luzon and several parts of Central Luzon,” said PAGASA forecaster Obet Badrina.
“Habagat” will cause scattered rains and thunderstorms over the Ilocos Region and the provinces of Benguet, Abra, Zambales, and Bataan. PAGASA warned that moderate to heavy rains in these areas could lead to flash floods or landslides.
The monsoon is also expected to bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, the rest of the Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon.
Badrina noted that the rest of the country could expect fair weather, especially at noon, with isolated rain showers likely in the afternoon or evening. Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the archipelago.
PAGASA is also monitoring a low-pressure area, last tracked 220 km northeast of Aparri, Cagayan. Badrina said it is currently unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone.

MANILA – The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has announced that a low-pressure area (LPA) located off the coast of Northern Samar province, combined with the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” will continue to bring scattered rains to various parts of the country.
As of the latest update, the LPA was observed 440 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar. While the weather bureau notes that there is a low probability of this LPA developing into a tropical cyclone over the next few days, it is expected to bring cloudy skies, scattered rains, and thunderstorms to Eastern Visayas, the Bicol region, and Quezon province.
In addition to the LPA’s impact, the southwest monsoon is currently affecting the western sections of Luzon. This weather system is anticipated to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to the Ilocos Region, as well as the provinces of Zambales and Bataan.
Metro Manila and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan may also experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the monsoon’s influence.
For the rest of the country, localized thunderstorms are expected, resulting in partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA has issued warnings about the potential for flash floods or landslides in areas experiencing severe heavy rains. Residents in affected regions are advised to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.
Despite the rains, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected to prevail across the country, ensuring generally safe maritime conditions.
Stay updated with the latest weather information and advisories from PAGASA to ensure safety during this rainy season.
