By Severe Tropical Storm Francisco and the southwest monsoon or habagat will continue to bring rains over large parts of the country on Sunday, the state weather bureau said.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Francisco further intensified while moving over the Philippine Sea with maximum sustained winds of 100 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 125 kph.
Although still relatively far from the country’s landmass, the trough of the tropical cyclone will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas, with possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
