Pagasa: Storm 'Labuyo' leaves RP, monsoon rains to continue

Tropical storm "Labuyo" (Dujuan) left Philippine territory Sunday, but state weather forecasters warned of continued monsoon rains on Luzon and the Visayas. In its 5 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said southwest monsoon is affecting Central and Southern Luzon and the Visayas. "Central and Southern Luzon and the Visayas will experience monsoon rains while the rest of the country will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms," it said. Pagasa said moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough, it said. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest and northwest with slight to moderate seas except during thunderstorms. Pagasa also said the surge of the southwest monsoon would affect the seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon and the Visayas. - GMANews.TV
