Habagat to bring intense rains, potential storm by weekend

The southwest monsoon, or 'habagat,' will continue to bring intense rains over the western portion of the Philippines this week, eventually waning by the weekend.

Areas including Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, western Cordillera, Zambales, and Bataan can expect occasional to frequent monsoon rains through Thursday.

Scattered rains are also possible in the afternoon over the rest of Cordillera and Central Luzon, western CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Panay.

Metro Manila will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rains from Monday through Thursday, with more sun and less rain expected from Friday onwards.

The rest of the country will have sunny and warm mornings with localized thunderstorms possible in the afternoon.

A weather disturbance may form over the northern Philippine Sea by Thursday or Friday, potentially entering the Philippine area of responsibility and being named 'Fabian' before moving northeastward away from land.

PAGASA has warned of potential flash floods and landslides due to heavy rainfall.
