MANILA, Philippines — The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will prevail over Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Sunday.

Palawan, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the ITCZ and localized thunderstorms.

Moreover, Pagasa is monitoring Typhoon Mindulle, currently outside the Philippine area of responsibility, located 1,640 kilometers east of extreme northern Luzon as of 3 a.m.

“Ayon nga po sa ating latest forecast track ay maaari itong pumasok ng Philippine area of responsibility by Tuesday or Wednesday,” Pagasa weather specialist Grace Castañeda said.

“Sa kasalukuyan din po, ayon sa ating latest analysis, wala itong magiging direct effect sa ating bansa maliban na lamang po ‘yan sa maaari pong ang maging moderate to rough ‘yung sea condition po natin diyan sa northern and eastern seaboards ng Luzon,” she added.

(Currently, based on our latest analysis, it has no direct effect in our country except that it could bring moderate to rough sea conditions in the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon.)

Further, no gale warning is raised over the country’s waters, allowing fisherfolk to venture at sea including those with small vessels.
