Key takeaway This has led to persistent rainfall over certain regions, including western and northern areas, as well as parts of Metro Manila.
Heavy to intense rainfall has been reported due to the intensified Southwest Monsoon. This has led to persistent rainfall over certain regions, including western and northern areas, as well as parts of Metro Manila. The situation is being further influenced by low-pressure areas, which may develop into a tropical cyclone.
As a result, heavy rainfall warnings have been issued, with a Red Warning in place for parts of Metro Manila and Occidental Mindoro. Serious flooding and landslides are possible in affected areas. Further details on the situation and forecasts are available from PAGASA, including updates on the expected continuation of enhanced monsoon rains and the associated risks of flooding and landslides.
