Rush hour traffic slows down even more with intermittent rains, like in this photo taken along Elliptical Road in Quezon City on Thursday (Aug. 28, 2025). There is no tropical cyclone as of the 5 p.m. weather bulletin but the southwest monsoon (habagat) will bring strong to gale-force gusts over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, Bataan, Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Central Visayas, Dinagat Islands, and Camiguin until Friday. (PNA photo by Joan Bondoc)
