Habagat to bring scattered rains over parts of PH

The Southwest Monsoon or Habagat will continue to bring rain showers over the country on Friday, PAGASA reported.

As of 2:00 a.m., the Low Pressure Area (07d), outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility or PAR, has a high potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the LPA, a remnant of Tropical Depression (DANAS), remains outside the PAR and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro will have occasional rains due to the Southwest Monsoon with flash floods or landslides occurring due to moderate to heavy rains.

Metro Manila, Mindanao, the rest of Visayas, Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, and Batangas will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Southwest Monsoon with possible flash floods or landslides occurring due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

The rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms also due to the Southwest Monsoon with flash floods or landslides occurring during severe thunderstorms.

The wind speed forecast for northern and western sections of Luzon is moderate to strong moving in the southwest to south direction with moderate to rough coastal waters.

The rest of the country will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the south to southwest direction while coastal waters will be slight to moderate.

Sunrise will be at 5:34 a.m., sunset at 6:30 p.m. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
