PAGASA Says Habagat to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the southwest monsoon will bring scattered rains over some parts of the country.
On Saturday (August 3, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorms will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James E. Villamil reported that the southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers over the western sections of Visayas and Mindanao.
“Ngayong araw asahan natin ang mataas na tsansa ng mga kalat-kalat na pag-ulan, pagkulog at pag-kidlat pati na rin ang mga kaulapan sa buong Palawan at sa eastern section ng Visayas at sa Mindanao bunson pa rin yan ng pag-iral ng southwest monsoon sa mga nabanggit na lugar,” Villamil said.
Habagat will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will bring Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Palawan. Flash floods or landslides are possible in these areas due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
The localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
“Sa nalalabing bahagi naman ng ating bansa kabilang na diyan ang Metro Manila at makakaranas muli tayo ng mainit at maalinsangang panahon throughout the day ngunit maghanda pa rin tayo sa mga tsansa ng biglaan at panandaliang buhos ng ulan,” he explained.
“Asahan rin natin sa mga susunod na araw ang maaliwalas na panahon sa malaking bahagi ng ating bansa gayunpaman mataas pa rin ang cloud formation dito sa Western Section ng Visayas at Mindanao,” he added.
Possible flash floods or landslides are expected during severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition throughout the country will be slight to moderate, according to PAGASA.
