Manila, June 8 -- Most parts of the country will experience isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms on Monday, as more than 26 million learners return to classrooms nationwide for the opening of School Year 2026-2027.

Ilocos Region and Zambales, however, will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms caused by the southwest monsoon.

Moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 5 a.m. weather bulletin.
