Pagasa: Rain expected this Sunday amid warm weather

MANILA, Philippines — Parts of the Visayas and Mindanao will have scattered rain on Sunday due to the intertropical convergence zone, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported.

“Asahan po natin itong Eastern at Central Visayas ay makakaranas pa rin po ng mga kalat-kalat na pag-ulan dulot po ‘yan ng intertropical convergence zone,” Pagasa weather specialist Samuel Duran said.
