Pagasa forecasts rain over Ilocos, Batanes

There will be occasional rains over the Ilocos Region and the islands of Batanes, Calayan and Babuyan, the weather bureau said on Monday.

The southwest monsoon or habagat continued to prevail over Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.

Several days of rain dumped by habagat over parts of Luzon left 190 villages flooded. About 100 of these villages were in Pangasinan, where at least 15 of the 24 villages in Calasiao were under water.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Luzon where coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate from the south going southwest, creating slight to moderate seas.
