MANILA, Philippines – Parts of Luzon’s western seaboard will experience a rainy Wednesday, September 18, as Tropical Storm Odette (international codename Usagi) continues to affect the southwest monsoon.

As of 4 pm Tuesday, September 17, Odette was located 815 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City (17.5°N,130.5°E), carrying maximum winds of 65 km/h and gusts of up to 80 km/h.

The system is forecast to remain almost stationary in the next 24 to 36 hours, making state weather bureau PAGASA to lower the storm signal earlier hoisted over Cagayan.

With the enhanced southwest monsoon, the provinces of Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, and the island of Mindoro will have cloudy skies with moderate to occasionally heavy rain and thunderstorms, the bureau said.

These areas should be on the lookout for possible flash floods and landslides, PAGASA said in its 24-hour forecast.

The rest of Central Luzon and Calabarzon, Metro Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms.

The rest of Luzon, meanwhile, will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain, the bureau added.
