The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced on Monday that a low pressure area (LPA) combined with the southwest monsoon, locally known as "habagat," will bring rainfall to most regions of the Philippines.

As of 3 a.m. Monday, the LPA was positioned approximately 570 kilometers east-northeast of Virac, Catanduanes, or 695 kilometers east of Daet, Camarines Norte. While the LPA has a minimal chance of intensifying into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours, it remains a significant weather phenomenon affecting the country.

Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected over the Bicol Region, Aurora, Bulacan, Quezon, and Rizal due to the LPA's influence. Additionally, the southwest monsoon will bring similar weather conditions across Metro Manila, the Visayas, Mimaropa, the rest of Central Luzon, and Calabarzon.

PAGASA cautioned that moderate to heavy rainfall in these areas could lead to flash floods and landslides, urging residents to stay vigilant. Other parts of the Philippines will experience isolated rain showers and localized thunderstorms associated with the habagat.

Wind conditions will vary, with moderate winds and seas forecast over Mindanao as well as the western parts of the Visayas and Luzon. Elsewhere, winds are expected to be light to moderate accompanied by slight to moderate sea conditions.

Residents in affected regions are advised to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions to mitigate weather-related hazards.
