Yellow Rainfall Warning Issued for Luzon
The state weather bureau has issued a yellow rainfall warning covering Metro Manila and five other Luzon provinces on Friday, September 5, 2025. This advisory comes as the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, brings heavy rains to these regions, officials reported.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued the warning at 8 a.m., indicating expected rainfall between 7.5 and 15 millimeters within the next three hours. The yellow rainfall warning signals residents to be alert for possible hazards linked to the weather conditions.

According to local leaders, the following locations are under the yellow rainfall warning due to the habagat’s influence:

- Zambales
- Bataan
- Pampanga
- Bulacan

Community members noted that flooding may occur in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Residents are advised to stay vigilant and prepare for potential disruptions caused by heavy rain.
Additional Provinces Experiencing Heavy Showers
Meanwhile, light to moderate rains with occasional heavy downpours are affecting other parts of Luzon. These showers are expected to persist for the next three hours and may spread to nearby areas, sources said. The provinces experiencing these conditions include:
- Tarlac
- Nueva Ecija
- Rizal
- Batangas
- Laguna
- Quezon (including General Nakar, Infanta, Real, Sampaloc, Mauban, Lucban, Sariaya, Tayabas, Dolores, Lucena, Candelaria, Tiaong, San Antonio)
Class Suspensions and Precautionary Measures
Due to the inclement weather brought by the habagat, several local government units in Luzon, including Metro Manila, have suspended classes for Friday. Officials reported that this decision aims to ensure the safety of students amid the heavy rains and possible flooding.
Authorities continue to monitor the weather closely and urge the public to stay updated with official advisories. Residents are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel and remain cautious in flood-prone areas.
