Sudden but short-lived rains and thunderstorms, occurring mostly in the afternoon or evening, may prevail over parts of the country in the next two to three days.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) senior weather specialist Chris Perez on Monday afternoon, June 28, said scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may affect the western section of Luzon due to the prevalence of the southwest monsoon or "habagat."
"Mapapansin natin na dakong hapon o gabi nagiging madalas ang pag-ulan sa panahon ngayong walang bagyo (We have observed that rains are more frequent in the afternoon or evening at a time when there is no tropical cyclone)," Perez said in the PAGASA's live weather update.
"Samantalang ang southwest monsoon o habagat ay umiiral pa rin subalit sa dulong bahagi lang ng Luzon lamang ang naaapektuhan sa ngayon (Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon or habagat still exists but only the extreme portion of Luzon is affected so far)," he added.
The public is advised to stay vigilant against flash floods or landslides that may occur during severe thunderstorms.
Perez said that Visayas and Mindanao may experience warm and humid weather but there is also a chance of intermittent rain caused by localized thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon or evening.
He added that PAGASA is not expecting a low pressure area or tropical cyclone that may form or affect the country in the next two to three days.
Moreover, no gale warning is in place as slight to moderate sea conditions may prevail across the country.
While no gale warning is in effect, Perez still advised seafarers and fisherfolk to remain alert during offshore thunderstorms as sea conditions may become rough.
