Pagasa: ITCZ, shear line to bring rains in parts of Luzon; rest of PH to have fair weather

MANILA, Philippines – The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the shear line are bringing rain to parts of Luzon on Monday, said the state weather bureau.

In its early morning public forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said both weather systems will be affecting Bicol Region, Palawan, Quezon, Aurora, Isabela, and Cagayan.

“Dahil sa shear line, magdadala ng maulap na kalangitan na may kalat-kalat na pag-ulan at thunderstorm sa Bicol Region, Quezon, Aurora at aabot pa iyan ng Isabela at Cagayan. At dahil naman sa ITCZ, ang Palawan province ay magiging maulap ang kalangitan na may kalat-kalat na pag-ulan at thunderstorm,” Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said.

(The shear line will bring overcast skies, scattered rain, and thunderstorms in Bicol Region, Quezon, Aurora, and even up to Isabela and Cagayan. And the same conditions are expected in Palawan province due to the ITCZ.)

Meanwhile, fair weather with chances of isolated rain is seen to prevail in the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, he added.

Aurelio also noted that no low-pressure area or tropical cyclone is currently being monitored by the state weather service in or near the Philippine area of responsibility.
