ITCZ causes rains in Mindanao

The extended weekend is here. As you travel to your destination, don’t forget to bring your rainy day essentials because the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will continue to dampen some parts of the country.

ITCZ refers to an area in the atmosphere where clouds are formed from the convergence of winds coming the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It can be a breeding ground of weather disturbances.

As ITCZ prevails, cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced in Caraga, Davao Region, Sarangani and South Cotabato. In the rest of the country including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Robert Badrina, no weather disturbance is expected to affect the country within the next three days.
