Metro Manila experienced heavy rainfall and flooding due to the southwest monsoon, with 201.7 mm of rain recorded in just five hours, nearly half of what Tropical Storm Ondoy dumped in 24 hours in 2009. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) warned that the intensity and volume of rainfall were extraordinary, leading to rapid flooding in some areas. Work-from-home and suspension of classes were declared in several regions due to the habagat. PAGASA issued rainfall warnings, with yellow indicating possible flooding, orange requiring preparation, and red necessitating immediate action.
