The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)—a region where winds coming from the northeast and southeast hemispheres converge that triggers thunderstorms and rain showers—will continue to be the dominant weather system in the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Thursday, Oct. 6.
In the next 24 hours, the ITCZ will bring cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms over Palawan, Eastern Visayas, and Mindanao.
PAGASA advised those in these areas to be vigilant against possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rains.
The rest of the country, including Metro Manila, will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies in the morning, with chances of rain showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
The public is also advised to stay vigilant against possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms, which are often accompanied by sudden heavy rains, lightning, thunder, gusty winds, and sometimes hail.
No gale warnings were raised on the country’s seaboards on Thursday, as the entire archipelago will have slight to moderate seas.
However, PAGASA still advised seafarers and fisherfolk to remain alert against offshore thunderstorms that could produce gusty winds and strong waves along portions of the coast.
