Rain from southwest monsoon to persist in second week of September

In the second week of September 2026, the southwest monsoon (habagat) is expected to continue bringing rain to regions in Luzon and the Visayas in the Philippines, increasing the risk of flooding and landslides. According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Zambales could experience heavy to intense rain in the next 24 hours. Over the next few days, several provinces across Luzon and parts of the Visayas are forecasted to receive varying levels of rainfall, ranging from moderate to heavy. Additionally, PAGASA noted that two low-pressure areas (LPAs) might form during the week, with one potentially developing into a tropical cyclone. The weather bureau anticipates two or three tropical cyclones forming or entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in September.
