Three weather systems bring rains to PH

Three weather systems are expected to bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to various parts of the Philippines on Monday, according to PAGASA.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will affect southern Mindanao, causing scattered rains and thunderstorms in the Davao Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Soccsksargen, and BARMM.

Easterlies will also bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to the Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Romblon, and Palawan.

PAGASA warned that moderate to heavy rains in these affected areas could lead to flash floods or landslides.

Isolated light rains are expected in the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley due to the northeast monsoon affecting Northern Luzon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, also attributed to the easterlies.

The eastern section of the country will have moderate winds and moderate coastal waters, while other areas will have light to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas.

As of Monday morning, PAGASA reported no monitored low pressure areas that could develop into a tropical cyclone.
