Habagat to bring clouds over Luzon; Visayas, Mindanao to be hot, humid
MANILA, Philippines — Luzon is expected to have cloudy and rainy weather while the Visayas and Mindanao are expected to be hot and humid on Monday due to the effects of the southwest monsoon or habagat, the state weather service said Sunday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), in its latest report, also reported that a low-pressure area was spotted 1,285 kilometers at the east-northeast of Northern Luzon.
The LPA, said Pagasa, will have no effect on the country’s weather condition and is not projected to develop into a typhoon.
