Thunderstorms Affecting Metro Manila and Luzon Continue
Thunderstorms affecting Metro Manila and five other parts of Luzon are expected to persist for the next two hours, officials reported Monday afternoon. The state weather bureau issued an advisory at 12:42 p.m., warning that these storms may intensify and spread to nearby areas.
Residents in affected regions should remain vigilant as heavy rains and lightning are likely. Local leaders noted that the weather disturbance could disrupt daily activities and advised the public to take necessary precautions.
Areas Under Storm Advisory
Aside from Metro Manila, the thunderstorms affecting Metro Manila and Luzon also impact parts of Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and the Cordillera Administrative Region. Community members said that sudden downpours and gusty winds have already caused minor flooding in low-lying areas.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) emphasized that the weather conditions could lead to flash floods and landslides in vulnerable locations, urging residents to stay updated with the latest bulletins.
Precautions and Preparedness
Authorities recommend avoiding outdoor activities during the storm and securing loose objects that strong winds might displace. Officials reported that emergency response teams are on standby to assist affected communities.
Moreover, motorists were advised to drive cautiously due to reduced visibility and slippery roads. Schools and offices in storm-hit areas are monitoring conditions closely and may implement early dismissals if necessary.
Outlook for the Rest of the Day
While thunderstorms affecting Metro Manila and Luzon are expected to continue for a few more hours, weather experts forecast a gradual clearing by late afternoon. However, scattered rain showers may still occur in some provinces.
Community members are encouraged to stay alert and follow updates from local authorities to ensure safety throughout the day.
