Habagat affects Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is affecting Central and Southern Luzon as well as Visayas, the state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday afternoon.

Occasional rains may occur in Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Antique, Aklan, Iloilo, Negros Occidental, and Guimaras due to the Habagat, according to PAGASA's 24-hour weather forecast.

It may also cause cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in Metro Manila, Bataan, Zambales, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, and the rest of MIMAROPA and Visayas, and bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over the rest of Central Luzon.

The rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms.

Flash floods or landslides may occur due to these weather conditions.

Meanwhile, light to moderate winds with slight to moderate coastal waters may be felt across the Philippines.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:44 a.m. on Wednesday. — Jiselle Anne Casucian/VBL, GMA Integrated News
