Pagasa warns of heavy rainfall across western Luzon on Friday

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued a weather advisory Friday morning alerting residents across western Luzon to prepare for heavy rainfall throughout the day.

Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina indicated that the heavy precipitation is expected to impact Metro Manila, the Ilocos region, and Central Luzon. The announcement comes as the country continues to monitor weather patterns affecting the main island during the monsoon season.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to remain alert for potential flooding and landslides in low-lying and mountainous terrain. Local government units have been encouraged to monitor water levels and ensure evacuation routes remain accessible for vulnerable communities.

Pagasa continues to monitor atmospheric conditions and will issue updates as weather systems develop throughout the day.
