'Habagat' will continue to bring moderate to heavy rains across Luzon

MANILA – A huge part of Luzon will continue experiencing rains caused by the southwest monsoon or habagat, the weather bureau said on Tuesday.

Occasional rains will be experienced across Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.

Scattered rains and thunderstorms will prevail throughout Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Pangasinan, Benguet, Tarlac, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Marinduque, Romblon, Oriental Mindoro, and Camarines Norte.

Moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

The rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers due to habagat and localized thunderstorms.

Flash floods or landslides are possible during severe thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are forecast in the northern and western sections of Luzon.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said.
