The southwest monsoon, or habagat, produced persistent rains and isolated thunderstorms across the Visayas and Cebu region through late July and into August, with PAGASA periodically reporting weakening effects alongside continued isolated rains. The bureau also monitored low-pressure areas within and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, though most were deemed unlikely to develop into tropical depressions. The monsoon's strong winds and rough seas prompted precautionary measures for the Ironman 70.3 Lapu-Lapu triathlon in Cebu, while forecasters continued to describe generally fair-to-cloudy conditions with scattered showers persisting into mid-August.
