MANILA, Philippines — The southwest monsoon, locally known as “habagat,” will continue to bring cloudy skies and rain over several parts of the country on Tuesday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Itong habagat ay maaapektuhan pa rin ang Northern Luzon at Central Luzon, inaasahan pa rin ang maulap na kalangitan na may kalat kalat na pagulan sa Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Bataan and Zambales,” said Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.

(This southwest monsoon will still affect Northern Luzon and Central Luzon, cloudy skies with scattered rain are still expected in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Bataan and Zambales.)

“Samantala ang nalalabing bahagi ng Luzon including Metro Manila, bahagyang maulap hanggang sa maulap na panahon, masisilayan ang araw at mainit na panahon, pero may tiyansa pa rin ang biglaang pagbuhos ng ulan dahil sa localized thunderstorms,” he added.

(Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy weather, sunny and hot weather, but there is still a chance of sudden downpours due to localized thunderstorms.)
