“Sa ating mga kababayan po dito sa parteng Mindanao, asahan ang epekto naman ng Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ, so ito po yung linya kung saan nagsasalubong ang mga hangin sa northern and southern hemispheres,” PAGASA forecaster Benison Estareja added.

(For our countrymen in Mindanao, expect the effects of the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ; this is the line where the winds from the northern and southern hemispheres collide)

For today’s weather forecast, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and BARMM will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers or thunderstorms, with the possibility of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, with the possibility of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
