The southwest monsoon, locally called “habagat,” may continue to bring rains over the western section of northern Luzon in the next 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Thursday, June 15.
Due to moderate to intermittent heavy monsoon rains, PAGASA warned the public of the possibility of flash floods and landslides in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur.
“Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards,” PAGASA warned.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country can expect "fair weather" with partly cloudy to cloudy skies and a chance of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
PAGASA advised the public to exercise caution during severe thunderstorms, as these may trigger landslides or flash floods, especially in areas that are vulnerable to these hazards.
