PAGASA warns scattered rains and thunderstorms due to southwest monsoon until Tuesday

PAGASA warns that scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon will affect most parts of the Philippines through Tuesday, including National Heroes' Day.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain are expected in Visayas, Mimaropa, Cavite, Batangas, Antique, Bicol Region, and Zamboanga Peninsula, where moderate to heavy rainfall could lead to flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, while the rest of Calabarzon and Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.

Weather specialist Rhea Torres from PAGASA noted thick cloud clusters in Southern Luzon and parts of Visayas based on satellite imagery.

Residents in affected areas are advised to be cautious of possible flash floods or landslides caused by severe thunderstorms, as the southwest monsoon continues to impact the region for the coming days.

No tropical cyclones are being monitored within or near the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
