ITCZ to bring rain over Mindanao, Palawan —PAGASA

The intertropical convergence zone will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Mindanao and Palawan, PAGASA said Tuesday afternoon.

In its 24-hour forecast, the weather bureau said a low pressure area was seen 640 kilometers east of Davao City. It is embedded along the ITCZ affecting Mindanao and Palawan.

PAGASA advised affected residents to prepare for possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to, at times, heavy rains.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the easterlies or localized thunderstorms.

Flash floods or landslides are also possible during severe thunderstorms.

Further, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate coastal water conditions will prevail over the rest of the country.

The PAGASA synoptic station at the Science Garden in Quezon City also reported a minimum temperature of 27°C at 5 a.m. and a maximum temperature of 34.4°C at 1:50 p.m.

The sun is expected to set at 6:16 p.m. — Ma. Angelica Garcia/BM, GMA News
