MANILA, Philippines – Rain showers will prevail in nine areas across the archipelago on Monday due to the shear line and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its early morning forecast.
“Itong shear line ay umaabot po sa bandang Northern Luzon, samantala itong intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) ay naaapektuhan ang southern part ng Mindanao,” Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said.
(The shear line has reached Northern Luzon, while the ITCZ is affecting the southern part of Mindanao.)
Aurelio added that cloudy skies and rain showers are expected in Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Quezon.
The same conditions will be felt across the Bicol region, Eastern Visayas, Caraga and Davao regions due to the easterlies or the ITCZ.
Fair weather with possible isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms are expected in the rest of the country, including Metro Manila.
No low pressure area or tropical cyclone is currently being monitored by Pagasa, Aurelio said.
