The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday announced the termination of the southwest monsoon, locally known as Habagat, which also marks the end of the rainy season in the western parts of Luzon and Visayas.
The termination follows a gradual shift in the prevailing weather pattern observed over the past several days, according to a press statement signed by PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando.
This includes the strengthening of the high-pressure system over East Asia, the southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and the notable weakening of winds and rainfall induced by the southwest monsoon.
