Habagat to bring rains over Visayas, Mindanao, parts of Luzon

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring rains over Visayas, Mindanao, and parts of Luzon on Monday, PAGASA said in its weather forecast.

Visayas, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Quezon, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the monsoon. Flash floods or landslides may possibly result due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Metro Manila and the rest of Calabarzon and Mindanao 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 Luzon 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.

PAGASA is also monitoring Typhoon Shanshan which is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

At 3 a.m. on Monday, the center of Shanshan was estimated to be located at 1,490 km east northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon.

Shanshan has maximum sustained winds of 140 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 170 km/h.

The typhoon is moving west northwestward at 25 km/h.

Meanwhile, coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the country.
