MANILA, Philippines–The western section of Northern Luzon, Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms, caused by an intertropical convergence zone affecting Southern Luzon and Visayas, the state weather bureau said Wednesday.
An ITCZ is a convergence of winds, where low pressure areas are formed.
The rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
No potential cyclones were being monitored by Pagasa.
Light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to south will prevail over Luzon and Visayas and coming from southwest over Mindanao. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago wil be slight to moderate.
