However, parts of the Philippines continue to experience rainfall due to the Southwest Monsoon, also known as Habagat.
Areas that will experience significant rainfall on September 19 include Zambales and Bataan.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warns of potential sudden flooding or landslides due to heavy rainfall in these areas.
Intermittent rainfall is also expected in Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Occidental Mindoro, and Northern Palawan. Despite its sporadic nature, this could also lead to flooding and landslides due to the intensity of the rain.
Metro Manila, Abra, Benguet, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, Antique, Iloilo, and other parts of Palawan and Ilocos Region will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Everyone is also advised to be cautious of possible floods and landslides.
The remaining parts of Luzon and Visayas, as well as Mindanao, will experience partly cloudy skies with occasional rain showers.
Traveling by sea remains dangerous due to rough seas caused by strong winds that blow from the southwest to the south.
Water levels in several rivers in Bicol have decreased, including Lake Buhi.
