PAGASA: ITCZ affects Mindanao

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will affect the Mindanao region on Thursday, the state weather bureau PAGASA said Wednesday.

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may prevail over the Visayas and Mindanao region, Palawan, Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate due to the ITCZ, the agency said in its 4 p.m. bulletin.

Batanes province may experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the shear line.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, meanwhile, may have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned the public against possible flash floods or landslides in the affected areas due to the rainfall.

Moderate winds and coastal waters may be experienced over Luzon and Visayas. Meanwhile, light to moderate winds may blow over Mindanao, to be accompanied by slight to moderate waters.

Minimum temperature was monitored at 5:30 a.m. at 22.8°C while maximum temperature was recorded at 3 p.m. at 33.1°C.

The sun will set at 5:25 p.m. It will rise Friday at 5:55 a.m.—Sundy Locus/AOL, GMA Integrated News
