Habagat to bring cloudy skies, scattered rains to Western Luzon

Cloudy skies and scattered rains are seen to prevail on the western section of Luzon on Sunday, caused by the southwest monsoon, or habagat, according to the state weather bureau.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration forecaster Chenel Dominguez said the rest of the country will continue to experience fair weather due to the weakening of habagat.

“Let’s expect that we will experience fair weather, but there is a high chance of rain in the afternoon and at night, caused by localized thunderstorms,” she said in a public weather forecast at 4 p.m.

As of writing, no gale warning has been hoisted on any seaboard in the country.

Likewise, no low-pressure area (LPA) is currently being monitored.

Meanwhile, a cloud cluster was seen in Taiwan, which is being monitored for the possibility of developing into an LPA in the next few days, said Dominguez.
