Fair, cloudy Wednesday weather with possible rain showers — Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Fair weather with episodes of cloudy skies and scattered rain showers due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and isolated thunderstorms are expected nationwide on Wednesday, the state weather bureau said.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that Mindanao and Eastern Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to ITCZ.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country are expected to have fairer weather, but rain showers are still possible due to isolated thunderstorms, according to Pagasa.

“Sa Luzon, kita po ang ating clear skies, associated po yan sa ridge o extension ng isang high pressure area sa may North Pacific Ocean,” said senior weather specialist Benison Estareja.

(In Luzon, the clear skies are visible, which is associated with the ridge or extension of a high pressure area in the North Pacific Ocean.)

Pagasa also said that no gale warning was raised in any of the seaboards nationwide with the rest of the country having slight to moderate sea conditions.
