Rainy Tuesday in Bicol, Visayas and parts of Mindanao due to ITCZ

Rainy Tuesday in Bicol region, Mimaropa--Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — The Bicol region, Mimaropa, the entire Visayas and parts of Mindanao are expected to have rainy weather on Tuesday due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the state weather service said.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the ITCZ will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Mimaropa, which consists of Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan; Bicol Region; the entire Visayas; Zamboanga Peninsula; Northern Mindanao; and Caraga.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience fair weather, but rain showers due to isolated thunderstorms are still a possibility, according to Pagasa.

“Intertropical Convergence Zone ang dominanteng weather system ngayon sa bansa, at nakakaapekto yan sa Katimugang Luzon, buong Kabisayaan at sa hilagang bahagi ng Mindanao,” said weather specialist Loriedin Dela Cruz in a public weather forecast.

(Intertropical Convergence Zone is the dominant weather system in the country which affects Southern Luzon, the entirety of Visayas and Northern Mindanao.)

“Dulot ho niyan ay mga pag-ulang nararanasan sa ilang bahagi ng bansa, kasama na rin ho riyan ang maulap na papawirin,” Dela Cruz added.

(This will bring rains in parts of the country, as well as cloudy skies.)

Meanwhile, no gale warning was raised in any of the country’s sea waters as the rest of the country is expected to have a slight to moderate sea condition with 0.6 to 2.5 meters of waves, according to the state weather service.
