Tropical Depression Luis is bringing moderate to intense rainfall on Monday, August 3, 2026, affecting Metro Manila including Quezon City, with PAGASA warning of possible floods and landslides. Quezon City residents should prepare for potential flooding and landslides, as the enhanced southwest monsoon combined with Tropical Depression Luis poses risks to low-lying areas and daily commutes. Monitor PAGASA weather bulletins for updates; avoid unnecessary travel, especially in flood-prone areas; prepare emergency kits and know evacuation routes; no specific event venue as this is a weather advisory affecting the entire metro.
Background
PAGASA is the Philippines’ national meteorological agency responsible for weather forecasts and disaster warnings. Tropical Depression Luis is a low-pressure system with maximum sustained winds of 62 km/h or less, which can enhance the southwest monsoon (habagat) bringing widespread rain across Luzon.
