Monsoon rains to persist across Philippines on July 22
Pagasa weather specialist Obet Badrina said in the 5am weather forecast that the habagat is expected to bring rain to most parts of Luzon, particularly the western section, including the Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan.
Meanwhile, the trough of the LPA east of Calayan, Cagayan is already affecting the area, bringing cloudy skies and rain showers to the Cagayan Valley, especially the eastern part of Calayan as well as to the Bicol Region and Mimaropa (Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan).
'A large part of the Visayas will also experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon, especially over the western section of the Visayas, including Western Visayas and the Negros Island Region,' Badrina said.
Pagasa is also monitoring two LPAs inside the PAR. Badrina said one of them may develop into a tropical depression by Wednesday, July 23. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN
