MANILA - Parts of Metro Manila experienced strong rains again around Monday noon, but the weather bureau does not expect this to continue in the next few days.

"More or less, the entire Metro Manila area experienced this brief showers, but this is associated with the southwest monsoon, or locally known as habagat. It won't last long. It's starting to disappear now, the rains have stopped," PAGASA weather bureau chief Prisco Nilo told ABS-CBN News Channel's (ANC) Dateline Philippines.

Nilo said he expects fair weather in the next 2 to 3 days in Metro Manila.

"We don't expect prolonged strong rains in Metro Manila area," he added.
 
"What happened is that, the southwest monsoon is enhanced by Ondoy although it's far away already and so we're still experiencing some rains in Metro Manila and adjacent areas," Nilo said.

However, he said the weather situation could change significantly.

Nilo said the the PAGASA has monitored two "cloud clusters" that may affect the Philippines in the coming weeks.

"These are only cloud clusters. they're not tropical depressions yet," he said.
