State weather forecasters yesterday said heavy rains are expected in Luzon today with the southwest monsoon being enhanced by the now severe tropical cyclone “Florita.”
As of press time, “Florita” was spotted 695 kilometers northeast of Basco, Batanes, packing top sustained winds of 90 kilometers per hour and 115-kph gusts, said PAGASA.
“Florita” may trigger floods and landslides in low-lying and mountainous Luzon areas, the weather office said.
“Florita” left the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) Sunday afternoon but continues to pull the southwest monsoon.
Localized thunderstorms, meanwhile, are expected all over the country.
