Monsoon rains to persist over Northern, Central Luzon—Pagasa
THE southwest monsoon or “habagat” will continue to bring rains over Northern and Central Luzon on Monday, the state-run weather bureau said.
The Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Batanes, Babuyan Group of Islands, Zambales, and Bataan will continue to experience monsoon rains, according to weather specialist Meno Mendoza of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
The rest of Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley region will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms because of the southwest monsoon, he said.
The public is advised to monitor possible flooding and landslides because of scattered moderate to heavy rains in the affected areas.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers caused by localized thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, winds over Northern Luzon will be strong to gale force from the southwest direction with rough to very rough coastal waters.
The rest of Luzon will have moderate to strong winds from the southwest, where coastal waters will be moderate to rough.
Finally, winds over the Visayas and Mindanao will be light to moderate from the southwest direction with slight to moderate coastal waters, Pagasa said.
