Heavy Rainfall Expected in Luzon Until July 6
MANILA, Philippines — Heavy rainfall is forecast to continue until Sunday afternoon, July 6, as local weather authorities warn of persistent showers across parts of Luzon. The heavy rainfall will affect several provinces due to the combined influence of a low pressure area and the southwest monsoon.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that the low pressure area (LPA) located off Northern Luzon, together with the prevailing southwest monsoon—locally known as the habagat—are driving the expected heavy rainfall. These weather conditions have prompted a heavy rainfall outlook that covers the next three days.
