ITCZ, amihan to bring rainy weather across Philippines

Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected across MIMAROPA, the Bicol Region, Quezon, as well as the Visayas and Mindanao due to the continued influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), according to PAGASA’s early morning forecast.

The Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and Aurora will experience cloudy skies with light rains, while the Ilocos Region will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains brought by the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan).

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon may encounter localized thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon or evening.

Winds will be moderate to strong, with moderate to rough coastal waters over Northern Luzon. The rest of the country can expect light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions.
