The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has issued warnings regarding heavy rainfall expected in parts of Luzon due to the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat. According to their latest forecast, this weather pattern will bring significant downpours starting Friday, September 4, and continuing through the weekend.

Pagasa reports that areas in Luzon may experience ongoing heavy rains, with weather specialists indicating the likelihood of intense rainfall, particularly on Friday. The advisory highlights that some regions might face severe weather conditions as a result of habagat.

On Saturday, September 5, Pagasa confirmed that the effects of the southwest monsoon will persist, impacting not just Luzon, but extending into parts of the Visayas. The state weather bureau reiterated concerns about potential heavy downpours affecting several areas, adding further urgency for residents to be prepared.

By Sunday, September 6, the warning remains in effect, with predictions indicating that heavy rainfall could continue in certain locations throughout Luzon. Pagasa has released specific rainfall amounts projected for various regions, urging the public to stay informed about local weather updates.

The forecasted conditions are expected to lead to possible flooding and disrupted activities. Pagasa encourages residents in affected areas to take necessary precautions and remain alert to weather advisories throughout the weekend.

The ongoing monsoon rains align with previous seasonal weather patterns experienced during this time of year. As rainfall amounts increase, officials stress the importance of community readiness to mitigate weather-related risks.
