The Northeasterly Surface Windflow continues to affect Luzon, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Quezon, Bicol Region and the rest of MIMAROPA. Meanwhile, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected in Mindanao and Palawan caused by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), or the imaginary where winds from Northern and Southern Hemisphere meet. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers.

 

 

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza, a Tropical Storm with international name “Yutu” was spotted outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) 3,375 km east of Mindanao. It is expected to move northward, and will not enter PAR. He also added that cold air brought by the Amihan or Northeast Monsoon will be felt in the last week of October.

 

 

No gale warning is issued today.

 

 

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the imaginary line where winds from the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet, brings cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao. Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers will prevail in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

 

 

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong, two shallow Low-Pressure Areas were spotted east of Visayas and west of Palawan. But these will have no direct effect on the nearby landmasses and are expected to dissipate in the following days.

 

 

Although no Gale Warning was issued today, expect moderate to strong waves in the northern coastal areas due to winds brought by the Northeast Monsoon.

 

 

As of 4:00 a.m. today, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) or the imaginary line where the winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet, affects Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao. This will bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in the mentioned areas. Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers will prevail in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

 

 

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza, we can expect storm-free weather in the next 2 to 3 days. He also added that Amihan will prevail next week, bringing cold air from Siberia or Mainland China.

 

 

No gale warning was issued today.

As of 3:00 a.m., Severe Tropical Storm Trami was last spotted 1,580 kilometers east of Central Luzon (outside PAR). With maximum sustained winds of 100 kph (kilometers per hour) and gustiness of up to 120 kph, it moves west-northwest at 20 kph. Later this afternoon, it is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Meanwhile, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) still affects Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It brings cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Visayas, Mindanao and Palawan. Meanwhile, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers are expected in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza, the Severe Tropical Storm is expected to enter PAR later this afternoon, making it the country’s 16thTropical Cyclone of the year. Once this happens, it will be named Typhoon Paeng. If it remains its track, it will affect the northern and eastern sections of Northern Luzon.

 

No gale warning was issued today.

As of 3:00 a.m. today, a Tropical Depression was spotted at 2,015 kilometers east of Southern Luzon. According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Loriedin Dela Cruz, though the Tropical Depression is not expected to make landfall, it may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow afternoon (September 23). Once it becomes a Tropical Storm, it will be called by its local name, “Paeng”.

Meanwhile, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) continues to affect Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. This weather system brings cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in MIMAROPA, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao and CARAGA.

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers will be experienced in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

The Intertropical Covergence Zone (ITCZ), which is an imaginary line where the Northern and Southern air meet, brings cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Western and Central Visayas and Mindanao. The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms.

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong, two weather disturbances are being monitored. First is the LPA outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) located 2,345 kilometers (km) west of Mindanao. It has no direct effect yet on the country, but is expected to enter PAR by Friday or Saturday, causing scattered rains in the country. The second weather disturbance, a shallow Low Pressure Area, is near Palawan, but is expected to dissipate in the following days.­­­

 

No gale warning is issued today.

 

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) has oscillated and is now affecting Southern Luzon and Visayas.

ITCZ is characterized as an area where winds coming from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet; this interaction results to rains in the affected areas.

As this weather system prevails, Metro Manila, Bicol Region, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Aurora and Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Elsewhere, partly cloudy to cloudy skies prevail only with chances of localized thunderstorms.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is affecting Eastern Visayas and Mindanao.

ITCZ is characterized as an area where winds coming from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet; this interaction results to rains in the affected areas.

As this weather system prevails, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced in Eastern Visayas, Caraga and Zamboanga Peninsula. In the rest of the country including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail only with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Rains, induced by three weather systems, will make flash floods and landslides possible in some parts of the country.

At 3:00 a.m., the Low Pressure Area (LPA) was estimated at 265 kilometers southwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. As the Tail-end of a Cold Front dampens the eastern sections of Southern Luzon and Visayas, the Northeast Monsoon brings rains in portions of Northern Luzon.

In the next hours, Bicol Region, Quezon, Palawan, Eastern Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms that may trigger flash floods or landslides. In Cagayan Valley, Cordillera and Ilocos Region, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail with isolated light rains. In the rest of the country, including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies or generally fair weather can be enjoyed with possible isolated rain showers.

Gale warning is still hoisted in the northern seaboards of Northern Luzon that covers Batanes, Babuyan Group of Islands, the northern coasts of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte. In these areas, fishing boats and small seacraft are prohibited from venturing due to rough to very rough seas.
