MANILA,  Philippines — Several areas in Luzon, including the earthquake-stricken Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms enhanced by the southwest monsoon, the state weather bureau said.

In its early morning weather forecast on Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat,” will primarily affect northern Luzon — such as the provinces of Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Cagayan and Batanes, and provinces in CAR.
