PHLaguna de Bay, the Philippines' largest lake, surpassed its critical high-water level of 12.50 meters on August 29, 2026, reaching 12.58 meters due to persistent rains from the enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat). The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) issued advisories urging residents along the lake's shores to stay alert and prepare for potential flooding. The LLDA emphasized that the lake acts as a natural catchment area for waters from surrounding regions, including parts of Metro Manila, making rising water levels a significant flood risk. Authorities recommended that local governments and residents maintain readiness, follow evacuation protocols, and ensure drainage systems remain unobstructed.
