The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued a thunderstorm advisory on Tuesday afternoon, alerting the public to anticipated severe weather affecting the capital and surrounding areas.
Forecasters warned that heavy to intense rains would likely persist across portions of Metro Manila and Luzon during the afternoon hours, driven by the development of localized thunderstorm activity. The advisory was disseminated to enable residents and local authorities to take necessary precautions.
According to Pagasa, the weather disturbance posed potential risks including flooding in low-lying areas and possible hazards from lightning and strong winds. The agency recommended that residents monitor weather updates and avoid unnecessary travel during peak rainfall periods.
The thunderstorms are expected to be localized in nature, meaning some areas may experience more severe conditions than others. Residents and motorists were urged to exercise caution and remain vigilant throughout the afternoon hours.
