The southwest monsoon, locally known as Habagat, will continue to bring cloudy skies and scattered rains over several parts of Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday afternoon.
In its 4:00 p.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA said the Ilocos Region, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, and Tarlac can expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon. Residents in these areas are advised to remain alert as moderate to, at times, heavy rainfall could trigger flash floods and landslides.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will also experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by Habagat. While the rains may be localized, PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms could still lead to flash floods or landslides in vulnerable areas.
Meanwhile, the Visayas and Mindanao will generally have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms brought by localized thunderstorms. Similar weather hazards, including flash floods and landslides during intense thunderstorms, remain possible.
PAGASA is also monitoring Tropical Depression Haishen, which was located about 1,205 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas as of 3:00 p.m. The cyclone packs maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour, with gusts reaching up to 70 kilometers per hour, and is moving northwestward at 10 kilometers per hour. It remains outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Moderate to strong southwest to south winds will prevail over Luzon, with coastal waters ranging from moderate to rough, reaching waves of 1.5 to 3.1 meters. Fisherfolk and operators of small sea vessels are advised to exercise caution, especially in areas with rough seas.
Across the Visayas and Mindanao, light to moderate winds from the southeast to south will bring slight to moderate coastal waters, with wave heights of 0.6 to 2.1 meters.
PAGASA recorded a maximum temperature of 31.9 degrees Celsius on Monday afternoon and a minimum temperature of 24.4 degrees Celsius earlier in the day.
The weather bureau continues to advise the public to monitor the latest forecasts and warnings, particularly those living in flood- and landslide-prone communities, as weather conditions may change throughout the day.
