Severe Tropical Storm Gardo exits PAR; southwest monsoon affects Luzon, Visayas

Severe Tropical Storm Gardo has moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility, but the southwest monsoon is still affecting Luzon and Visayas, particularly bringing moderate to heavy rain to Pangasinan, Zambales, and Bataan on June 26. This weather pattern is significant as it impacts daily activities, travel, and agriculture in these regions. The monsoon's persistence underscores the seasonal weather changes that are critical for planning and preparedness, especially for those reliant on farming and outdoor operations.
