Isolated rain showers to prevail across PH Wednesday

RAIN showers are expected to prevail across the archipelago on Wednesday due to the southwest monsoon (habagat) affecting the western sections of Northern and Central Luzon, as well as localized thunderstorms, the state bureau said.

“Although the southwest monsoon is weakening, it will continue to bring rains and thunderstorms over the western section of Luzon,” Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Obet Badrina said.

Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, and Bataan would get isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon.

Badrina said localized thunderstorms would also cause isolated rain showers, most likely in the afternoon or evening, over the rest of the country.

Meanwhile, the country will continue to experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, PAGASA said. (PNA)
