Weather Today – September 8, 2015 | Metro Manila, not affected by habagat

The southwest monsoon, locally knows as “habagat,” is now affecting Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao. This weather system will bring light to moderate rain showers in Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, CARAGA and the provinces of Palawan. Aside from the rain showers, humid weather is also expected to prevail today.

The rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms. PAGASA Weather Forecaster Jori Loiz said Metro Manila is not directly affected by the southwest monsoon. The rain showers, which mostly occur in the afternoon or evening, are due to thunderstorms activity.
