By It will be a rainy Wednesday in parts of Luzon and the Visayas due to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” that is being enhanced by Typhoon Francisco (international name: Mekkhala) which is moving away from the country, the state weather bureau said.
“The rains we are currently experiencing in Metro Manila and nearby areas are being caused by the southwest monsoon,” Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said in Filipino.
Pagasa said scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in Metro Manila, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) , the Bicol region, Western Visayas, and the Negros Island Region due to the “habagat.”
