MANILA, Philippines — Many parts of Luzon and the Visayas will experience cloudy and rainy weather on Wednesday due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the state weather bureau said.

 The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Metro Manila, Western and Central Visayas, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan), Bicol region and Aurora will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms,

“Ngayong araw po dahil sa ITCZ, asahan ang makulimlim na panahon sa halos buong Southern Luzon, kasama na rin dyan ang Metro Manila at Aurora,” weather specialist Benison Estareja said in a public weather forecast.

 “For the rest of Western Visayas and Central Visayas, asahan po natin throughout the day magiging makulimlim ang panahon,” Estareja added.

The rest of the country will have fair weather with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms, according to Pagasa.
