MANILA, Philippines — Generally fair weather will prevail throughout the country on Thursday, except in southern portion of Mindanao due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Dito po sa Metro Manila pati na rin sa nalalabi pang bahagi ng Luzon, asahan natin ang maaliwalas na panahon bukas,” said Pagasa weather specialist Ana Clauren.

(Fair weather is expected in Metro Manila as well as in the rest of Luzon tomorrow.)

However, isolated light rain should be expected in Northern Luzon, while thunderstorms are possible in Bicol Region and Mimaropa.

“Asahan naman natin sa may southern portion ng Mindanao ay makakaranas pa rin po ng mga kalat kalat na pagulan mga pagkidlat at pagkulog dulot pa rin ‘yan ng ITCZ,” said Clauren.

(The southern portion of Mindanao will experience widespread rain, lightning and thunder caused by the ITCZ.)

But the rest of Mindanao as well as the entire Visayas will experience generally clear skies with hotter temperatures during noontime, and the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
