Rains will continue over some parts of the country on Tuesday due to an intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) affecting Southern Luzon and Visayas.

Metro Manila, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), Mimaropa (Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Romblon, Marinduque and Palawan), the Bicol Region, and Aurora province will have cloudy skies with scattered rains or thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
