Yagi, Habagat bring rain to Luzon

The trough of Super Typhoon Yagi and the enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat) are bringing rainfall to various parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila.

Super Typhoon Yagi is located 595 kilometers west northwest of Laoag City, outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, with maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h and gusts of up to 240 km/h.

PAGASA has issued an orange heavy rainfall warning for Zambales and Bataan, indicating significant rain accumulation, and a yellow rainfall warning for Metro Manila, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, and Cavite.

The Habagat will cause cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Batanes and the Babuyan Islands, as well as over Palawan, Quezon, Marinduque, Romblon, and the rest of Cagayan Valley.

Monsoon rains are also anticipated in Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro, with occasional rains expected in Metro Manila and other regions.

Flash floods or landslides may occur due to these weather conditions.

Strong winds with rough waters may be experienced in the western section of Luzon.
