PAGASA advises those living in low-lying areas along the Tullahan River to be on alert after the La Mesa Dam breached its spilling level early Wednesday, August 28
MANILA, Philippines – The southwest monsoon or habagat has been bringing heavy to torrential rain to several areas since Tuesday evening, August 27, with similar weather conditions expected to continue on Wednesday, August 28.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 4 am bulletin on Wednesday that the southwest monsoon is still affecting Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and the Visayas.
PAGASA warned of occasional rain in Metro Manila, Zambales, Bataan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, and Antique.
The rest of Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and the Visayas, as well as La Union, Pangasinan, Benguet, and Bicol, are also seeing scattered rain and thunderstorms.
As of 8 am, Metro Manila, Zambales, Bataan, and parts of Occidental Mindoro (Lubang, Looc, Paluan, Mamburao, Abra de Ilog, and Santa Cruz) were still under a yellow rainfall warning, which means heavy rain will persist for the next three hours. There is also flooding in flood-prone areas.
The rain prompted class suspensions in parts of Luzon on Wednesday.
