The southwest monsoon (habagat) continues to affect much of the country, bringing cloudy skies and intermittent to heavy rainfall with thunderstorms, according to PAGASA forecasts and advisories cited by multiple outlets. Metro Manila and areas across Luzon are repeatedly mentioned as likely to experience rain, with some reports warning of heavy rainfall conditions within specific two-hour to three-hour windows.

Several articles describe day-to-day shifts in intensity and timing. On Tuesday (July 28), outlets report partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with a chance of thunderstorms by afternoon. Other bulletins and advisories later focus on heavier impacts, including thunderstorm-linked rain, lightning, and strong winds, and separate reports raising a “heavy” or yellow rainfall warning for Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon on Wednesday afternoon. Some coverage also pairs habagat with easterlies, and notes PAGASA monitoring a possible low-pressure area that could develop within about 24 hours.

Across the sources, the main difference is emphasis: some stress generally widespread rainy conditions, while others highlight localized heavy rainfall warnings or the potential for a developing weather disturbance. One report also includes disruption from flooding tied to ongoing habagat rains, including suspended classes in affected areas.
