The water level at Angat Dam in Bulacan slightly increased yesterday.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration monitoring yesterday morning said the Angat Dam water level was 161.45 meters, slightly higher by 10 centimeters from last Saturday’s 161.35 meters.
It can be considered just a slight improvement as compared to the past two days when Angat Dam’s water level increased by more than two meters.
It is higher than the 160-meter critical level but still way lower than the 180-meter minimum dam operating level and 210-meter normal high water level.
PAGASA weather specialist Ezra Bulquerin said a weak southwest monsoon or “habagat” will persist over Ilocos region and Cordillera Administrative Region today.
The rest of the country can expect fair weather throughout the day, he added.
Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Abra, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, and Apayao will have cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers.
PAGASA continues to warn the public of possible sudden rains that may cause flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
Throughout the week, the State weather bureau said the habagat will be temporarily weak while a ridge of high pressure area or an anti-cyclone system will be the dominant weather system affecting Luzon. (Ellalyn Ruiz)
