The “habagat”, Pagasa said, is weakening and only affecting parts of Luzon, although rains are still expected in many parts of the country.

“Sa ating latest satellite imagery, nakikita natin ang pag-iral ng  habagat nakikita natin na humihina na ang southwest monsoon magdadala pa din ito ng mas malaking tiyansa ng thunderstorm lalo na sa kanlurang bahagi ng Luzon,” he said.

(Based on our latest satellite imagery, the prevailing southwest monsoon is now starting to weaken, but rain is still expected in the western section of Luzon.)

Pagasa also reported no gale warning for the country’s seaboards.
