Pagasa weather updates for Cebu and the broader Visayas show alternating patterns of rain, thunderstorms, and generally fair conditions over the past week. Cebu is sometimes affected by the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, which brings cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms, though the rain is expected to weaken in some periods. At other times, Cebu begins the week with generally fair weather, with only isolated rain showers and thunderstorms developing, influenced by prevailing easterlies and warm winds from the east.
Several forecasts also cite localized thunderstorms, described as brief disturbances often driven by daytime heating. On days when a low pressure area (LPA) forms within the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the Visayas are expected to experience scattered rains and thunderstorms, with Cebu facing light-to-moderate rainfall that can raise river water levels and increase flooding risk in several river systems across the region. Pagasa also warns at least once of moderate to heavy rain across Cebu, accompanied by lightning and strong winds, with potential flash flooding and rain-triggered landslides.
