Southwest Monsoon to bring rain showers over several areas

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is affecting the western sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao on Sunday and will bring rain showers over several areas, PAGASA said.

Mindanao, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the monsoon. Moderate to heavy rains may possibly result in flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila, the rest of Mimaropa, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, and Bataan may expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, also due to the Habagat. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may occur.

The rest of the country on the other hand will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may result.

Coastal waters will be moderate to rough in the western sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and slight to moderate in the rest of the country.
