PAGASA warns of floods, landslides from monsoon

The public should continue to be on alert for possible flooding or landslides over the western section of Luzon due to the prevailing southwest monsoon or “hanging habagat.”

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said Pangasinan, Bataan, and Zambales will experience moderate to occasional heavy rains due to the habagat.

Metro Manila, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Abra, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Apayao, Batanes, Babuyan Group of Islands, Cavite, Batangas, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac will have cloudy skies with light to moderate monsoon rains and isolated thunderstorms.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.

Tomorrow until Wednesday, PAGASA said the impact of southwest monsoon may weaken, leading to cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms in the western section of Northern and of Central Luzon.
