Cloudy skies, rains over PH due to Habagat
Meanwhile, the state weather bureau continues to monitor the tropical cyclone outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
The tropical depression is located 1,925 kilometers east northeast of extreme Norther Luzon packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center, gustiness of up to 70 kph, and moving northward at the speed of 20 kph.
Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region, Occidental Mindoro, Romblon, Palawan, and Southern Leyte will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to at times heavy rains.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon with flash floods or landslides possibly occurring during severe thunderstorms.
The wind speed forecast for extreme Northern Luzon is moderate moving southwestward while coastal waters will be moderate.
The rest of the country will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the southwest to west direction with slight to moderate coastal waters.
Sunrise will be at 5:35 a.m., sunset at 6:29 p.m. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

New LPA outside PAR has ‘medium' possibility of turning into storm — PAGASA
The new low pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has a 'medium' chance of becoming a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Tuesday afternoon. At 3 p.m., LPA 07f was located 1,040 kilometers east of Southeastern Luzon. The LPA is expected to affect the weather conditions of CARAGA, Eastern Visayas, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate, according to the state weather bureau's 4 p.m. daily weather forecast. Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, MIMAROPA, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Zambales, Bataan, the rest of Visayas, and the rest of Mindanao. These moderate to at times heavy rains may trigger flash floods and landslides. The rest of Luzon will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the Habagat. These severe thunderstorms may cause flash floods and landslides. State meteorologists also said the extreme Northern Luzon and western sections of Luzon and Visayas will experience moderate wind and coastal water conditions. Winds will be light to moderate, while coastal waters will be slight to moderate throughout the rest of the country. Sunrise in Metro Manila will be at 5:35 a.m. on Wednesday. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/BAP, GMA Integrated News

Tropical cyclones outside PH landmass more responsible for heavy rainfall during Habagat season
Men wade through a flooded road following heavy rains brought by Typhoon Carina (Gaemi) and the Habagat (Southwest Monsoon), in Manila on July 24, 2024. REUTERS/ Lisa Marie David Heavy rainfall is more likely to be caused by tropical cyclones that do not make landfall than by those that do during the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) season from July to September, according to a new study. After examining 62 years of weather data (1961 to 2022), researchers from Ateneo de Manila University, the Manila Observatory, PAGASA, and Japanese partner institutions found that the indirect effect of tropical cyclones accounts for 33.1% of rainfall, more than twice as much as the direct effect (15.4%). The remaining 51.5% is attributed to the monsoon itself, without tropical cyclone influence. The rainfall measurements were taken from 11 stations along the western coast of the Philippines (Laoag, Baguio, Dagupan, Iba, Science Garden-Quezon City, Port Area-Manila, Sangley Point, Ambulong, Coron, Cuyo, and Iloilo). ''The peak of the typhoon season coincides with the peak SWM [Southwest Monsoon] months. This leads to the interaction between the two weather systems. In some cases, TCs [tropical cyclones] are able to 'enhance' the SWM. This usually happens when a TC is located to the northeast of the Philippines during the peak SWM months, bringing heavy rainfall especially over the western coast of the Philippines,'' the study said. ''The most recent example is Typhoon Gaemi (Carina) in 2024, which did not make landfall in the Philippines but still brought about extremely high amounts of rain over the country due to its enhancement of the SWM,'' it added. ''Two other examples of this phenomenon are the 'enhanced Habagat' cases of 2012 and 2013, which occurred from 6–10 August 2012 and 18–22 August 2013, respectively.'' The study also found that in the four rainiest years on record—1962, 1972, 2012, and 2018—rainfall totals soared above 2,000 millimeters during the Habagat season, with indirect effects of tropical cyclones accounting for 41.5 percent of total rainfall. ''By distinguishing between rainfall caused by the monsoon as well as the direct and indirect effects of tropical cyclones, the researchers hope to improve the way we anticipate extreme weather,'' Ateneo said. ''Understanding these distinctions is crucial for local governments and disaster response agencies, especially as climate change increases the unpredictability of both tropical cyclones and seasonal rainfall.'' Ateneo published the study on June 11. —GMA Integrated News

Cloudy skies, rains over PH due to Habagat
The southwest monsoon or Habagat will bring cloudy skies with rains over parts of the country on Tuesday, PAGASA reported.
