ITCZ affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao —PAGASA

Several parts of Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao will experience rains due to the intertropical convergence zone, PAGASA said Wednesday.

In its 24-hour forecast, the state weather bureau said cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will prevail over Metro Manila, the Visayas, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga.

PAGASA advised affected residents to prepare for possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

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

Flash floods or landslides are also possible during severe thunderstorms, PAGASA said.

Further, light to moderate winds and slight to moderate coastal water conditions will prevail over Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. —Ma. Angelica Garcia/LBG, GMA News
