Habagat, trough of Severe Tropical Storm Danas to bring rains over PH
The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) and trough of Severe Tropical Storm Danas (formerly Bising) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) will bring rains on Sunday throughout the country, PAGASA said. Batanes and Babuyan Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the trough of Danas affecting Extreme Northern Luzon. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly result in flash floods or landslides. At 3 a.m. Sunday, Danas was located 400 km west of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near the center and with gustiness of up to 135 km/h. Danas is moving north northeastward slowly toward Taiwan. It has no direct effect on the country, but PAGASA said there may still be a possibility it will reenter PAR tonight or early tomorrow morning, according to DOST-PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina. Bising may also intensify into a typhoon and possibly make landfall over mainland China on Tuesday, he added. Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon is affecting the rest of the country on Sunday. The Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan will have occasional rains, with the possibility of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains. Metro Manila, Cordillera Administrative Region, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, and the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon may expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Moderate to at times heavy rains may possibly result in flash floods or landslides. The rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. During severe thunderstorms, flash floods or landslides may occur. Coastal waters will be rough in Extreme Northern Luzon, and moderate to rough in the western section of Central Luzon and the rest of Northern Luzon. The rest of the country will have slight to moderate coastal waters. Sunrise was at 5:32 a.m. while sunset will be at 6:30 p.m. —KG, GMA Integrated News

PAGASA: 2025 storms 'less severe' compared to last year
An official from PAGASA on Saturday said the tropical cyclones that the Philippines will be experiencing this year will not be as severe as what the country endured in 2024 due to the absence of La Niña. 'As compared to last year, hindi siya kasing lala unlike last year… October to November isang buwan lang ito ay anim na sunod sunod na bagyo, actually typhoon and super typhoon categories,' PAGASA Deputy Administrator Mar Villafuerte said at a news forum in Quezon City. (As compared to last year, it's not as bad as last year... October to November is just one month; it's six consecutive typhoons, actually typhoon and super typhoon categories.) To recall, during the last quarter of 2024, the country endured six back-to-back tropical cyclones within less than 30 days, which heavily affected Luzon. Villafuerte's remark was backed by Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Renato Solidum. 'On the average hindi [ganun kalala]… dahil walang La Niña,' Solidum said. (On average it's not that bad… because there's no La Niña.) La Niña is characterized by unusually cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (CEEP). It is usually associated with above-normal rainfall conditions. In April, PAGASA announced the termination of the La Niña alert in the country as normal rainfall conditions are expected. 'Of course, hindi natin isinasawalang bahala… na baka maging kampante ang ating mga kababayan. Kapag merong nasa development phase pa lang siya… or even two weeks before na magkaroon ng tropical cyclone, ini-inform na natin ang ating mga kababayan para mapaghandaan ahead of time,' Villafuerte said. (We are not ignoring the fact that our countrymen may become complacent. When something is still in the development phase or even two weeks before a tropical cyclone occurs, we inform the public so they can prepare ahead of time.) PAGASA earlier said the country may experience 16 to 19 tropical cyclones this year. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
