Southwest Monsoon and Tropical Depression Jacinto Affect Weather
The southwest monsoon is bringing widespread rain across the country this Thursday afternoon. Alongside the trough of Tropical Depression Jacinto, the weather system is causing significant rainfall in many regions, officials reported.
Although Tropical Depression Jacinto is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) soon, it remains a key factor in the current weather disturbances. Sources said the depression is currently located approximately 505 kilometers away from the country, but its trough continues to influence the southwest monsoon’s intensity.
Impact of the Southwest Monsoon Nationwide
Communities nationwide are experiencing persistent rainfall due to the combined effects of the southwest monsoon and Tropical Depression Jacinto’s trough. Local leaders noted that this weather pattern could lead to localized flooding and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.
Residents are advised to stay alert and monitor updates from weather authorities. The southwest monsoon’s moisture-laden winds are expected to sustain rain showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.
Weather Forecast and Safety Precautions
Officials reported that the southwest monsoon will continue to bring moderate to heavy rains in western sections of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Meanwhile, the trough of Tropical Depression Jacinto is weakening as it moves away from the country.
Community members said they are preparing for possible disruptions caused by the weather, emphasizing the importance of safety measures. Authorities urge the public to avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding and to secure loose objects that may be affected by strong winds.
Looking Ahead: Weather Updates
Meteorological agencies will keep monitoring the southwest monsoon and any residual effects from Tropical Depression Jacinto. They encourage everyone to stay informed through official announcements and to heed any warnings issued in the coming days.
With the southwest monsoon and Tropical Depression Jacinto’s trough affecting the country, Filipinos are reminded to prioritize safety and preparedness during this period of heavy rainfall.
