As of 1:49 p.m. on Monday, state weather bureau Pagasa lowered the lightning red alert to yellow level. Flight operations at NAIA resumed after a brief suspension due to the inclement weather conditions.
According to Pagasa's daily weather forecast, areas including Metro Manila, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and the northern portion of Palawan including Kalayaan Islands will see cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon or habagat.
As a result, those areas are projected to see possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains in the next few hours.
