The southwest monsoon (habagat) will continue to bring cloudy skies and intermittent rain to Cebu on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas.
Monsoon Not Directly Linked to Typhoon Francisco
Weather specialist Mark Gales clarified that the rainfall is solely due to the southwest monsoon and not the direct influence of typhoon Francisco, which remains far from the Visayas region. However, the typhoon is enhancing the monsoon flow, leading to unsettled weather and rough coastal waters.
“We should expect that sea conditions will not be calm. We have moderate to rough sea conditions, which can be dangerous, especially for small watercraft,” Gales said in Cebuano.
Advisory for Small Vessels
Pagasa advised operators of small sea vessels to avoid unnecessary travel due to the rough conditions. Gales noted that generally fair weather is expected to begin on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
