Residents across Metro Manila and the Philippines brace themselves for another day under the sway of weather patterns dictated by a high-pressure ridge stretching over the eastern section of Luzon. The forecast for the day predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, attributed to localized thunderstorms. While these conditions are not unusual for this time of year, it’s essential to remain vigilant, as severe thunderstorms could potentially lead to flash floods or landslides in susceptible areas.
