Monsoon rains will continue to drench Luzon on Friday–Pagasa

Continuing monsoon rains may trigger flashfloods and landslides in parts of Luzon, the state weather bureau warned on Friday.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said monsoon rains will be experienced particularly in the regions of Ilocos and Cordillera and the provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija.

Occasional rains are expected in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley and the rest of Central Luzon, Pagasa said, adding partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated thunderstorms will prevail over the rest of the country.

Pagasa said moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Luzon and the Visayas, with the coastal waters in these areas moderate to rough.

Elsewhere, winds coming from the southwest and the seas will be light to moderate.
