On Friday (August 15, 2025), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The southwest monsoon will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather specialist Loriedin De La Cruz-Galicia reported that the southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains over Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
“In the areas mentioned, we continue to remind our countrymen that wherever they need to go today, they should not forget to bring rain protection and remain alert to the possibility of flooding,” Galicia said.

“Ngayon po ay wala tayong LPA na minomonitor sa loob ng ating area of responsibility, wala ring bagyo. Pero,pagantabi pa rin tayo sa magiging updates ng pag-asa uko sa mga posibilidad ng pagkabuo ng mga panibagong weather system such as LPAs at tropical cyclones,” she added.
