Dark skies over the Ateneo de Manila University campus in Quezon City, Philippines, forebode possible rain. A study co-authored by esearchers from the university found that during the “Habagat” or southwest monsoon season from July to September, rains over the western Philippines can be exacerbated by tropical cyclones far to the east of the country that don’t even make landfall.
