MANILA – Several areas will experience rains due to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” affecting the western sections of the Visayas and Mindanao, the weather bureau said Friday.
The “habagat" will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Palawan, and Basilan.
Moderate to heavy rains in these areas could result in flash floods or landslides, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
The rest of the country will continue to experience isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the archipelago.
Meanwhile, PAGASA forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said the "weak southwest monsoon" will continue to affect some areas on Saturday.
PAGASA is not expecting any weather disturbance to develop inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility this weekend, he said. (PNA)
