MANILA — Filipinos should keep their umbrellas handy this weekend as the southwest monsoon, or habagat, brings rain and thunderstorms to parts of the country.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Metro Manila and other areas of Luzon, Western Visayas and Northern Samar may experience cloudy skies, scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow.
The rainy weather could affect weekend trips, outdoor activities and travel, with sudden downpours possible particularly in the afternoon.
For those heading out, the simple advice is: Bring an umbrella and check the weather before you go.
