MANILA, Philippines — Cloudy skies and scattered rain showers will be experienced in most parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila, as “habagat” (southwest monsoon) continues to affect most of the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Tuesday.

“Dahil pa rin nga po sa epekto ng ating habagat o southwest monsoon, patuloy pa rin pong mararanasan ang maulap na kalangitan, na may kalat kalat na pag ulan at pagkidlat at pagkulob dito sa may Metro Manila,” said Pagasa weather specialist Meno Mendoza.
