The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has announced that most areas in Luzon will experience rain due to the southwest monsoon, known locally as habagat. Regions such as Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Zambales, and Batangas will see occasional rains, with moderate to heavy rainfall potentially causing flash floods or landslides. Additionally, scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in the Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and other parts of Luzon. Meanwhile, PAGASA is monitoring a low pressure area (LPA) located 495 km northwest of Pag-asa Island, which is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours. The weather bureau also warns of moderate to strong winds and rough seas in northern and central Luzon, while the rest of the country may experience isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
