Habagat Rains to Drench Parts of Luzon on Friday

The Philippine Atmospheric, Astronomical and Geophysical Services Administration (Pagasa) announced on Friday, September 4, that the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, will bring rains to parts of Luzon. "Today, we expect that the intermittent rains, sometimes strong, caused by the habagat may continue," said Pagasa weather specialist Obet. This monsoon-induced rainfall could affect wide areas of the Philippines, particularly Luzon and its surrounding regions. The Philippines often experiences heavy rains and floods during the monsoon season, impacting infrastructure and the daily lives of its citizens. Philippine meteorological authorities are urging residents to be vigilant of the potential effects of the rain and to prepare for necessary actions, such as evacuation, if needed.
