The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration announced on Saturday that the southwest monsoon or habagat season has officially started.

PAGASA administrator Nathaniel Servando said recent analyses showed the presence of southwesterly winds over the western section of the country due to the development of a tropical cyclone over the Philippine Sea.

The agency noted that the habagat may bring frequent rains and thunderstorms that typically ease the heat, though hazardous heat index levels persist in 44 areas.
