The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) enhanced by 'Bagyong Inday' will bring intermittent moderate to occasional heavy monsoon rains over Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga and Bulacan.

Residents of these areas, especially those living in low-lying and mountainous areas, are advised to take appropriate actions against possible flooding and landslides, continue monitoring for updates, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices.
Sea travel is risky over the western seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon due to rough to very rough seas associated with the Southwest Monsoon.
