MANILA, Philippines —Cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms will prevail nationwide on Monday due to the “habagat” or southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Pagasa said the “habagat” will prevail over Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Soccsksargen, Northern Mindanao, Calarbarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Zambales and Bataan.
“Sa mga lugar kung saan mararanasan ang habagat, pinag-iingat po natin ang mga kababayan na maging alerto sa posibleng pagkakaroon ng flash floods at landslides,” Pagasa weather specialist Meno Mendoza said in a 4 a.m. weather forecast.
(In areas that will be affected by habagat, we advise residents to watch out for possible flash floods and landslides.)
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with isolated rainshowers most likely in the afternoon or evening due to localized thunderstorms.
Mendoza said there is no low pressure area expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility in the next two to three days.
