PAGASA Says ITCZ to Bring Rains Over Parts of the Country
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the intertropical convergence zone will bring scattered rain showers over some parts of the country.
On Tuesday (September 19, 2023), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The intertropical convergence zone will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that the intertropical convergence zone will bring cloudy skies and scattered rain showers over parts of Mindanao, particularly in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.
“Patuloy pa ring umiiral ang intertropical convergence zone o ITCZ dito sa bahagi ng Mindanao kung saan ngayong araw, magdudulot pa rin ito ng mataas na tiyansa ng pag-ulan, pagkidlat, at pagkulong sa ilang bahagi ng Mindanao,” weather specialist Grace Castañeda said.
The Localized Thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms over Visayas, Palawan including Kalayaan Islands and Occidental Mindoro.
ITCZ and localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather conditions over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
“Dahil nga po hindi pa gaano ngayong naka-aapektong muli ang habagat or yung southwest monsoon sa ating bansa, ine-expect natin na magiging mababa ang tiyansa ng pag-ulan, pagkidlat, at pagkulog. Ngunit mayroon pa rin po tayong posibilidad ng mga isolated na pag-ulan,” she said.
The weather agency has warned the public of possible flash floods and landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water conditions over Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will be slight to moderate, according to the weather bureau.
PAGASA reported that no weather disturbances have been spotted inside the Philippine area of responsibility. However, a possible low-pressure area is expected in the next few days.
“At sa kasalukuyan ay wala tayong mino-monitor o namamataan pa na sama ng panahon na maaaring makaapekto dito sa ating bansa, ngunit sa mga susunod na araw ay hindi natin inaalis yung posibilidad na may isang low pressure area na mabuo sa loob ng ating Philippine area of responsibility kaya continuous monitoring tayo,” Castañeda added.
