Habagat to bring rains across PH on Monday

The southwest monsoon, locally known as 'habagat,' is expected to bring rains across the entire country on Monday, according to PAGASA.

Localized thunderstorms will also affect other parts of the country, contributing to the rainfall.

The Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan may experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.

Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, Western Visayas, and the Negros Island Region can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

These conditions across the country could result in flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

PAGASA is monitoring a low-pressure area located 1,375 kilometers east of Extreme Northern Luzon, but it is not expected to affect the country's weather.
