The Philippines is experiencing widespread rainfall this June 1, 2026, due to the combined effects of Typhoon Domeng (Jangmi) and the Southwest Monsoon, according to the latest forecast from PAGASA.
Typhoon Domeng's Influence
As of 3:00 AM today, PAGASA reports that the center of Typhoon Domeng was estimated to be 650 km East Northeast of Itbayat, Batanes (23.7°N 127.3°E). The typhoon packs maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 160 km/h, moving North Northwestward at 15 km/h. While Domeng is not expected to make direct landfall in the Philippines, it is significantly enhancing the Southwest Monsoon, also known as Habagat.
Monsoon Rains Across Luzon and Visayas
The enhanced Southwest Monsoon is bringing significant rainfall to a large portion of the country. PAGASA forecasts the following conditions:
Luzon Weather Forecast
Metro Manila, Central Luzon (including provinces such as Bulacan, Pampanga, and Zambales), CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), Bicol Region: Expect cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Residents in these areas should be prepared for potential flash floods and landslides, especially in low-lying areas and near river systems, due to the moderate to heavy rainfall associated with the monsoon.
Extreme Northern Luzon: Moderate to strong winds are expected from the west to southwest, creating moderate to rough coastal waters with wave heights ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 meters. Small sea crafts are advised to take caution when venturing out to sea.

Visayas Weather Forecast
Western Visayas: Similar to Southern Luzon, Western Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Southwest Monsoon. Expect possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
