Weather

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected over Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, and Western Visayas due to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” that is being enhanced by Typhoon “Chedeng”, the state weather bureau said Saturday, June 10.

The state weather said “Chedeng” has intensified into a typhoon on Thursday afternoon June 8, but remains far from the Philippine landmass.

Severe Tropical Storm (STS) “Chedeng” has maintained its strength over the Philippine Sea, the state weather bureau reported Thursday, June 8.

Tropical Storm “Chedeng” has maintained its strength on Wednesday morning, June 7, but remains unlikely to directly bring heavy rainfall and far from the Philippine landmass, the weather bureau said.

One of the two low pressure areas (LPAs) monitored by the weather bureau would likely develop into a tropical cyclone within 24 to 48 hours.

Two weather systems outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) are being monitored by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
