By CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu may experience a dangerous mix of intense heat, flooding, thunderstorms, and possible water shortages in the coming months as the southwest monsoon or habagat overlaps with the possible development of El Niño, according to the state weather bureau.
While the enhanced rains linked to habagat will likely hit the western section of the country harder, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) warned that Cebu could still face flooding episodes during the rainy season before drier conditions emerge toward the end of the year.
