Monsoon Trough Dampens Southern Luzon

A new weather system is bringing rains to some areas in the country.

According to PAGASA, the Monsoon Trough is now affecting Southern Luzon. The Monsoon Trough is a portion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) where winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge, causing rain showers and thunderstorms.

As this weather system prevails, cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in Bicol Region, CALABARZON and Aurora. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will prevail in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

In an interview with Panahon TV, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Robert Badrina said that cloud clusters were spotted in the northeastern part of Luzon but are not expected to develop into a Low Pressure Area (LPA). He added that no weather disturbance is expected to affect the country until the end of June 2017.
