MANILA, Philippines – Nearly two dozen provinces, almost all in Luzon, are seeing significant rainfall due to the southwest monsoon or habagat in the next 24 hours, the weather bureau’s 11 am advisory showed on Wednesday, September 9.

On Wednesday, other parts of Luzon and the Visayas not mentioned above could have isolated to scattered rain or thunderstorms from the southwest monsoon.

Floods and landslides remain possible.

So far, there are no new low pressure areas (LPAs) or potential tropical cyclones inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

But PAGASA reiterated on Wednesday morning that it is not ruling out the possibility of LPA formation during the week.

The weather bureau expects two or three tropical cyclones to develop within or enter PAR in September. The next three local tropical cyclone names are Queenie, Rosal, and Samuel. – Rappler.com
