The southwest monsoon or habagat will continue to affect the western portion of Luzon this Sunday, Aug. 6, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will prevail over the Ilocos Region, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands due to habagat.
These may trigger possible flooding or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms also due to habagat and localized thunderstorms.
“Sa nalalabing bahagi ng bansa kasama na riyan ang Metro Manila ay mas maaliwalas na panahon na ang ating inaasahan,” PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said.
“May tiyansa pa rin ng mga pulo-pulong pag-ulan na may pagkulog at pagkidlat dulot ng thunderstorms,” he added.
Villamil said no low pressure area that may affect the country is currently being monitored.
