The southwest monsoon, or habagat, continued to influence weather across the Visayas region including Cebu through late July into September, bringing intermittent isolated rain showers and thunderstorms alongside otherwise fair conditions. PAGASA issued a series of daily forecasts noting brief disturbances, with strong winds and rough seas at times prompting precautions for events like the IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu triathlon and the Halad sa Pagtuo 2026 festival, while separately monitored low-pressure areas were deemed unlikely to develop into tropical depressions.
