Habagat to bring rain over parts of PH on Tuesday, Aug. 6

The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring cloudy conditions and rain over several areas in the country on Tuesday, said state weather bureau PAGASA.

Western Visayas, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan could experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Habagat.

These moderate to heavy rains may cause flash floods or landslides.

The Habagat may also cause partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Mindanao, Bicol Region, the rest of Visayas, the rest of Calabarzon, and the rest of Mimaropa.

Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon would see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

These severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods and landslides in the affected areas.

PAGASA also said the country would experience light to moderate winds and coastal conditions.

Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:40 a.m. on Tuesday.

PAGASA weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said there is a low chance the Low Pressure Area (LPA) 1,090 kilometers east northeast of extreme northern Luzon will develop into a tropical depression.

He added the Low Pressure Area will have no effect on the country’s weather conditions in the next 24 hours. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
