PAGASA explains sudden downpour mid-Monday

- By ELLALYN DE VERA-RUIZ

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday, Sept. 29, said the southwest monsoon, or "habagat," is expected to weaken in the coming weeks, signaling the gradual transition toward the northeast monsoon, or "amihan" season.

This week, PAGASA said the habagat is not expected to have a direct impact on the country, with easterlies, or warm winds from the Pacific Ocean, likely to remain the dominant weather system.

According to PAGASA weather specialist Munir Baldomero, the agency considers several indicators before declaring the official end of habagat.
