2 to 3 storms may enter PAR in July 2025, PAGASA says
State weather bureau PAGASA said two to three tropical cyclones may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this July 2025, with Pangasinan expected to experience rain on up to 21 days this month due to the southwest monsoon. According to PAGASA, the southwest monsoon or 'habagat' continues to affect the region, bringing rain and thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon and evening. 'Nagkakaroon ng thunderstorm. Kaakibat nito ang ulan,' Engr. Jose Estrada Jr., Chief Meteorological Officer at PAGASA Dagupan Station, said. Based on PAGASA's dry and rainy day forecast, Pangasinan may experience rainfall for up to 21 days this July 2025. In addition, two to three tropical cyclones are likely to form and enter the PAR this month. As thunder and lightning often come with heavy rains, PAGASA reminded the public to take extra caution. Jay Dela Peña and his friends from Muntinlupa arrived in Dagupan City early morning on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. They headed straight to Tondaligan Beach, eager to enjoy the sea before the expected afternoon rains. 'Okay naman. Presko, maaliwalas at refreshing,' Dela Peña said. 'Kung nandiyaan 'yung lightning and thunder, 'wag gumamit ng cellphone,' Estrada said. Despite the frequent rain, PAGASA clarified that La Niña has not yet set in, as the current rainfall totals have not reached the criteria required for its declaration.

Thunderstorms cause floods in parts of PH
Several parts of the country experienced flooding due to inclement weather caused by localized thunderstorms. In a ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Jamie Santos, a motorist took footage of vehicles forced to cross the gutter-deep floods in some parts of Cainta, Rizal on Saturday morning. The flood was almost ankle deep in Montalban, Rizal. Inclement weather also caused heavy traffic on E. Rodriguez Avenue, Sumulong Memorial Circle Road in Antipolo, Ortigas Avenue Extension, and Taytay Diversion Road. Meanwhile, waters entered the homes of residents in Barangay Malanday, Marikina, while some of them removed blockage in their sewer, including trash, cement and dried leaves. They called on local authorities to take action regarding fast-rising floods despite little rainfall. In a separate ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Nico Waje, a school was hit by flood in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, due to localized thunderstorms. Students and teachers worked together to remove water from classrooms. According to the school administration, flooding was caused by both rain and the construction of the drainage system. Thunderstorms also occurred in parts of Metro Manila on Saturday. Most parts of the country will continue to experience rains on Sunday because of the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), PAGASA said in its Saturday afternoon forecast. Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan will have occasional rains, while Metro Manila, Mindanao, Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas will see cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Bicol Region and the rest of Visayas will expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. —Jamil Santos/VBL, GMA Integrated News
