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

PAGASA: Rains to persist due to trough of TS Bising, Habagat
Rains are expected to persist in most parts of the country due to the trough of Tropical Storm Bising (international name: Danas) and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, PAGASA said on Saturday afternoon. As of 4 p.m., Bising remains outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was last seen at 445 kilometers west of Basco, Batanes with maximum sustained winds of 85 kph and gustiness of up to 105 kph. The trough of the Tropical Storm may bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Batanes and Babuyan Islands. Danas is anticipated to intensify into a Severe Tropical Storm within the next 24 hours and may briefly re-enter PAR by Monday. Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon may also cause occasional rains over Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan, and cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Mindanao, Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas. It will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Bicol Region and the rest of Visayas. Possible flash floods or landslides may occur in some areas as a result of said weather conditions. Moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough seas may be expected over Northern Luzon and the western sections of Central and Southern Luzon, while the rest of the country will be having light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas. Temperatures in the country will range from a minimum of 25.7°C to a maximum of 29.0°C over the next 24 hours. Sunrise will be at 5:32 a.m. on Sunday morning. —VAL, 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
