Pagasa: Habagat, LPA weaken; localized thunderstorms to affect PH

The southwest monsoon, or habagat, is losing strength and now only lightly impacts Northern Luzon's western part, according to Pagasa. While the main monsoon weakens, localized thunderstorms are expected to affect various regions across the Philippines. This weakening trend is important as it could influence agricultural activities and water supply in affected areas, particularly in Northern Luzon where the monsoon typically brings significant rainfall. Understanding these changes helps local authorities prepare for potential weather disruptions and manage resources accordingly.
