Thunderstorm Warning for Six Luzon Provinces
Authorities have issued a thunderstorm warning for six Luzon provinces on Saturday evening. Residents are advised to prepare for moderate to heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds expected to hit these areas within the next two hours.
Provinces Under Thunderstorm Alert
According to officials, the thunderstorm warning covers Batangas, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Tarlac, and Pampanga. These areas should remain vigilant as weather conditions may rapidly change and pose risks.
Ongoing Weather Conditions in Quezon Province
The severe weather is already affecting parts of Quezon province, particularly in Patnanungan, Burdeos, Mulanay, and San Francisco. Community members reported experiencing heavy rains and gusty winds, conditions that may continue for the next two hours and could extend to nearby localities.
Precautionary Measures Advised
Officials stressed the importance of taking precautionary steps to safeguard lives and property. “All are advised to take precautionary measures against the impacts associated with these hazards which include flash floods and landslides,” authorities said. Residents living in vulnerable areas should stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel.
Weather Patterns Causing the Disturbance
The weather disturbance is linked to the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, and a trough connected with a low-pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility. These weather systems continue to influence the country’s climate, bringing increased rainfall and wind activity.
Community members and local leaders are encouraged to monitor updates and follow guidance from weather authorities to ensure safety during this period of unstable weather.
