PAGASA Says Habagat to Bring Rains Over Parts of PH
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the southwest monsoon will bring rains over parts of the country.
On Saturday (September 7, 2024), 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 Daniel James E. Villamil reported that Southwest Monsoon or Habagat will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains over Luzon.
“Makikita natin sa ating mga local satellite images itong makakapal na mga kaulapan sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon ay ang patuloy nga nap ag-iral ng southwest monsoon at sa kasalukuyan asahan natin na sa next 24 hours ay patuloy itong matataas na tsansa ng mga kaulapan at kalat-kalat na pag-ulan na sinasamahan pa ng mga pagkulog at pagkidlat sa extreme Northern Luzon o sa areas ng Batanes and Babuyan Islands,” Villamil said.
The southwest monsoon will bring cloudy weather conditions with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Batanes and Babuyan Islands.
Habagat will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
“Sa kasalukuyan may minomonitor tayong isa pang cloud cluster dito sa silangang bahagi ng Luzon, wala rin itong epekto sa ating bansa. Patuloy lang natin itong minomonitor dahil possible itong maging isang low-pressure area sa mga susunod na araw,” he added.
The localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather conditions over the remaining parts of the country.
The weather agency has advised the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over the western, and northern sections of Luzon and the rest of Luzon will be moderate to rough. Visayas and Mindanao will have slight to moderate surrounding sea conditions, according to PAGASA.
