PAGASA has issued a weather advisory warning of moderate to intense rains from the southwest monsoon affecting over a dozen areas including Metro Manila from Monday afternoon, August 10, to Tuesday afternoon, August 11, 2026, with flooding likely. Quezon City residents should prepare for potential flooding, class suspensions, and travel disruptions as the southwest monsoon brings heavy rains that could affect daily commutes, work, and school schedules. Monitor PAGASA updates for real-time rainfall warnings; avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding; prepare emergency kits; check local government announcements for class or work suspensions; expect heavy traffic on major roads like EDSA and Commonwealth Avenue.
Background
The southwest monsoon (habagat) typically brings heavy rainfall to the western Philippines from June to September. PAGASA regularly issues advisories when tropical cyclones enhance the monsoon, increasing flood risks in Metro Manila’s flood-prone areas like Quezon City.
