Heavy rainfall is expected to affect portions of Luzon as the southwest monsoon, known locally as the habagat, continues to influence weather patterns across the region, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In its three-day forecast issued at 5 a.m., Pagasa identified several areas that may be impacted by significant precipitation. The weather service did not specify exact rainfall amounts in its advisory, though residents across affected areas have been advised to remain vigilant.
The southwest monsoon is a seasonal wind pattern that typically brings moisture-laden conditions to western portions of Luzon and surrounding areas. Residents and local government units in vulnerable areas are encouraged to monitor updates from Pagasa as the weather system develops.
The weather advisory remains in effect through Sunday, with Pagasa expected to issue updated forecasts as conditions evolve. Residents are reminded to take necessary precautions and remain alert to flood warnings in their respective areas.
