July 24: Heavy to torrential rains to drench most of Luzon as 'Emong' enhances habagat
Severe Tropical Storm Emong and the southwest monsoon, or habagat, are expected to bring heavy rainfall to much of Luzon on Thursday, July 24.
Pagasa warned that intense to torrential rainfall exceeding 200 mm could cause widespread severe flooding and landslides in Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, and Benguet.
Heavy to intense rainfall of 100 to 200 mm is anticipated in Ilocos Norte, Tarlac, Abra, Mountain Province, and Ifugao due to Emong.
The habagat will also bring moderate to heavy rains of 50 to 100 mm to Cagayan, Kalinga, Apayao, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija.
Emong, with maximum winds of 110 kph, continues to enhance the habagat and is expected to make landfall tonight or early Friday.
Tropical Storm Dante, located far to the northeast, also contributes to enhancing the habagat as it moves toward the Ryukyu Islands.
