You maybe asking, why are there heavy downpour and flooding even if there’s no storm or typhoon existing within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)?

State weather bureau PAGASA says it is the Southwest Monsoon that is affecting Luzon and Visayas.

This weather disturbance brings scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms in some provinces particularly in the western section of Luzon and Visayas.
