ITCZ, easterlies to bring rains across PH

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is expected to bring scattered rains to Mindanao, while the easterlies will affect the rest of the Philippines with varying chances of precipitation and potential hazards.

Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Aurora, and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, carrying a risk of flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.

Caraga and Davao Region in Mindanao will face similar conditions with cloudy skies and scattered rain showers and thunderstorms attributed to the ITCZ, also posing risks of flash floods or landslides.

Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, and Visayas can anticipate partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by the easterlies, with severe thunderstorms potentially leading to flash floods or landslides.

The remaining parts of Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the ITCZ, with a possibility of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

Winds over Luzon and Visayas are forecast to be light to moderate and moving eastward, with corresponding slight to moderate coastal waters.

Mindanao will experience light to moderate winds from the south to southeast, and its coastal waters will remain slight to moderate.
