MANILA, Philippines — The entire country will experience fair weather conditions on Saturday and for the next two days even as the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) affects Mindanao, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

Pagasa weather specialist Ezra Bulquerin said that there is no weather disturbance currently being monitored within or outside the Philippine area of responsibility.

“Sa kasalukuyan wala po tayong minomonitor na sama ng panahon sa loob at labas ng Philippine area of responsibility, kaya fair weather condition for the next three days po ang ine-expect natin. Maganda ang panahon, medyo maaraw,” he said in a weather forecast.

(We have not monitored any weather disturbance within or outside the Philippine area of responsibility, so we are expecting a fair weather condition for the next three days. The weather is fair but is slightly sunny.)

According to Bulquerin, the country may see partly cloudy to cloudy skies on Saturday.

“Kung uulan man, isolated rain showers lamang po o mga panandaliang buhos ng ulan (Even if it rains, it will just be isolated rain showers or rain that will only last for a short time),” he added.
