MANILA, Philippines — The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will bring scattered rain showers to Eastern Visayas, the Caraga and Davao regions while fair weather will prevail in the rest pf the country, elsewhere, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported Sunday.
“Ngayong araw naman (today), dito sa (here in) Metro Manila, asahan pa rin po ang (expect) fair weather conditions for most of the day for most of Luzon,” Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja said.
“Sa ating mga kababayan naman po dito sa may eastern part of Visayas at gayundin sa eastern Mindanao, particularly Caraga and Davao region, asahan ang mostly cloudy skies at meron tayong mga kalat-kalat na pag-ulan and thunderstorms lalo na po sa hapon at sa gabi,” he added.
(Expect mostly cloudy skies and scattered rains and thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas and the eastern part of Mindanao, particularly Caraga and Davao region, especially in the afternoon and evening.)
“Wala naman tayong gale warning sa ngayon at wala rin tayong inaasahang suspension po ng sea travel hanggang sa Tuesday dahil wala naman tayong inaasahang matataas na mga alon,” Estareja said.
(We do not have a gale warning as of now and we do not anticipate a suspension of sea travel until Tuesday because we are not expecting high waves.)
Estareja further said that currently, there is no low pressure area (LPA) inside and outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).
An LPA, however, may form by Monday near Mindanao which may enter PAR by Tuesday.
