WESTERN LUZON, PALAWAN AND MINDORO — THE SOUTH-WEST MONSOON HOLDS, AND A NEW LOW SITS OFFSHORE

There is no tropical cyclone inside the Philippine area of responsibility. The south-west monsoon keeps rain over western Luzon, Palawan and Mindoro with flash-flood and landslide risk in the usual places. A new low-pressure area about 2,090 km east of eastern Visayas may enter the area of responsibility on September 22 or 23 — it would carry the name Queenie — and could become a depression around September 24 or 25. A candidate, not a storm, and printed as one.

3 turning points on record since Sep 17.

Forecasters expect the southwest monsoon to persist over western Luzon, Palawan, and Mindoro as a new low develops just offshore. Media reports add that this pattern will deliver heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds across Metro Manila and Luzon while raising the chance of flash floods and landslides in southern sections. Those details match the official outlook but highlight specific hazards for residents in the affected zones.
