ITCZ to bring rains, thunderstorms over Southern Mindanao

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers or thunderstorms over Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, BARMM, and the Zamboanga Peninsula, PAGASA said Thursday.

In its 24-hour forecast, the weather agency warned affected residents of possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to, at times, heavy rainshowers.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers may prevail over Metro Manila and the rest of the country due to localized thunderstorms.

Severe thunderstorms may cause flash floods or landslides, PAGASA said.

Meanwhile, its synoptic station at the Science Garden, Quezon City recorded a minimum temperature of 26.4°C at 5 a.m. and a maximum temperature of 33°C at 12 noon.
