Habagat brings rains over most of the Philippines

The southwest monsoon, locally known as "habagat," is expected to continue bringing rains across a significant portion of the Philippines, including Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

PAGASA forecasts monsoon rains specifically over Mimaropa, Western Visayas, and Negros Occidental, warning of potential flash floods or landslides in these areas during heavy rainfall.

The Bicol region and other parts of the Negros Island Region will experience intermittent rains.

Metro Manila and several other regions across Luzon and Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with scattered rain showers or thunderstorms due to the "habagat."

The trough of Tropical Storm Bebinca will also contribute to isolated rain showers over the remainder of Luzon.

Rough seas and strong winds are anticipated in the western sections of Southern Luzon and the Visayas, as well as over Mindanao and other parts of Southern Luzon and the Visayas.
