The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday, April 6 warned of scattered light to heavy rains across parts of Mindanao and Palawan over the next 24 hours.
PAGASA said the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)—which occurs when winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge—will bring cloudy skies, scattered rains, and thunderstorms to Davao Region, Soccsksargen, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Palawan.
Residents in these areas are warned of the possibility of flash floods or landslides, particularly during moderate to heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is expected to experience generally partly cloudy to cloudy conditions, with a chance of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon or evening, due to the easterlies.
The easterlies are warm winds from the Pacific Ocean.
PAGASA also advised the public to remain vigilant during severe thunderstorms, as these could trigger flash floods or landslides.
