Thunderstorms to Drench Metro Manila and Luzon Areas
Meteorological authorities have issued a thunderstorm advisory covering Metro Manila and four other Luzon regions early Wednesday. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) warned that moderate to heavy rains, along with lightning and strong winds, will hit these locations within the next two hours.
The thunderstorm advisory highlights Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Pampanga, and Bulacan as the primary areas expected to experience intense weather conditions. Residents in these zones should prepare for possible disruptions caused by the storms.
Additional Areas Facing Similar Weather
Aside from the main regions, Pagasa reported that Bataan’s Morong and parts of Zambales—specifically Olongapo, Subic, and San Antonio—are also experiencing comparable weather patterns. These conditions might continue to affect nearby communities within the same timeframe.
Authorities urged the public in all affected areas to remain vigilant and take precautionary steps to mitigate risks related to flash floods and landslides. Given the heavy rains and strong winds, safety measures are crucial to prevent accidents and property damage.
Ongoing Impact of the Southwest Monsoon
Based on the early morning bulletin, the southwest monsoon or habagat remains active, bringing widespread rain across many parts of the country. This weather pattern is expected to persist throughout Wednesday, contributing to the ongoing wet conditions.
Local officials and weather experts continue to monitor the situation closely, reminding citizens to stay updated and heed advisories. The combination of thunderstorms and the monsoon increases the likelihood of hazardous weather events in the coming days.
