MANILA, Philippines — Continue to expect rain over the Ilocos Region and extreme Northern Luzon on Tuesday due to the southwest monsoon, locally known as the “habagat,” said the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Malaki ang tiyansa ng pag-uulan partikular sa Ilocos Region, at sa may Extreme Northern Luzon dulot pa rin ng southwest monsoon,” said Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina.
(There is a high chance of rain, especially in the Ilocos Region, and in Extreme Northern Luzon, still caused by the southwest monsoon.)
“Habang sa nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon ay mas maaliwalas na panahon naman ang mararanasan liban na lang sa isolated rain showers and thunderstorms,” he added.
(While in the rest of Luzon, the weather will be calmer except for isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.)
Meanwhile, the entire Visayas and Mindanao will experience generally fair weather with high chances of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
According to Badrina, low-pressure areas or storms forming or entering within the Philippine area of responsibility are unlikely this week.
No gale warning was also raised on any of the country’s coasts, as only slight to moderate sea conditions are expected over the country’s in-land seas and surrounding waters.

- Metro Manila: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
- Baguio City: 16 to 24 degrees Celsius
