Heavy Rains Forecast Over Metro Manila and Luzon Provinces
Heavy rains are forecast over Metro Manila and three key provinces in Luzon this Thursday afternoon, officials reported. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued a thunderstorm advisory warning residents of moderate to heavy rain showers accompanied by lightning and strong winds.
Areas Under Weather Alert
The weather bureau specified that Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal are expected to experience these heavy rains within the next two hours. Local leaders emphasized the importance of preparedness as the conditions may cause flash floods and landslides.
Meanwhile, similar weather conditions are currently affecting parts of Batangas, particularly Lemery, Agoncillo, and Calaca, as well as San Andres in Quezon. Community members noted that these heavy rains may continue to affect nearby areas shortly.
Weather Conditions and Precautions
“All are advised to take precautionary measures against the impacts associated with these hazards, which include flash floods and landslides,” Pagasa urged. This advisory highlights the ongoing risks posed by sudden heavy rainfall and strong winds in the region.
Officials reported that a low-pressure area within the Philippine area of responsibility, together with the southwest monsoon locally known as habagat, continues to influence the weather across Luzon. These factors contribute to the persistent wet conditions and unstable atmosphere.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather developments and heed advisories from local authorities to ensure safety. Emergency services remain on alert to respond promptly to weather-related incidents.
