SYNOPSIS: The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is currently affecting Mindanao, while the rest of the country is experiencing the influence of easterlies.
Forecast Weather Conditions
Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Aurora, and Quezon: These areas will experience cloudy skies accompanied by scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. This weather pattern is attributed to the easterlies. Residents should be aware of the potential for flash floods and landslides due to moderate to heavy rainfall.
Caraga and Davao Region: Similarly, these regions will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, primarily due to the ITCZ. The rainfall may be moderate to heavy at times, posing risks of flash floods and landslides.
Metro Manila, Rest of Luzon, and Visayas: Expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by the easterlies. While these showers are generally light, severe thunderstorms could lead to flash floods and landslides in susceptible areas.
Rest of Mindanao: The weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, influenced by the ITCZ. As with other regions, severe thunderstorms could potentially cause flash floods and landslides.
