Habagat, LPA, Pulasan bring rain, floods, landslides across PH

The southwest monsoon or 'habagat' continues to bring rainfall across large parts of the Philippines, with additional impacts from a developing Low Pressure Area (LPA) east of Cagayan and an approaching tropical storm named Pulasan.

Monsoon rains are expected in Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Negros Occidental, northern Palawan, and other areas, with flash floods or landslides possible due to heavy rainfall.

The LPA will affect the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Aurora with cloudy skies and scattered rains, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Soccsksargen, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and other regions will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, with potential for moderate to heavy rainfall causing flash floods or landslides.

PAGASA forecasts Pulasan to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tuesday evening but has a small chance of directly affecting any part of the country. The LPA is expected to develop into a tropical cyclone within the day, bringing additional weather disturbances.
