PAGASA Says Habagat and LPA to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area will trigger rains over parts of the country.
On Thursday (August 7, 2025), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area will bring rains over parts of the country.
PAGASA weather specialist Chenel Dominguez reported that Southwest Monsoon or habagat and a low-pressure area (LPA) will affect several areas of the country, bringing cloudy skies and rainshowers.
The low-pressure area was last spotted 380 kilometers northeast of Daet, Camarines Norte, or 390 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora.
The LPA will bring cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rains and thunderstorms over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora.
“We are also not ruling out the possibility that this could become a full-fledged tropical cyclone over the West Philippine Sea,” Dominguez said.
It will also bring similar weather conditions over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, the rest of Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Northern Samar.
“Right now, it has a medium chance of becoming a full-fledged tropical cyclone, meaning the chance of it becoming one within the next 24 hours is low. But in the coming days, that chance will increase,” she explained.
The southwest monsoon will bring the same weather conditions over the rest of Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, BARMM, and Palawan.
Habagat will bring fair weather with chances of partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms over the rest of Mindanao.
The weather agency advised the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides, and severe thunderstorms.
The coastal water conditions across the country will be slight to moderate, according to PAGASA.
