On Saturday (October 19, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The Intertropical Convergence Zone will be affecting the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James Villamil reported that the Intertropical Convergence Zone cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will bring Zamboanga Peninsula, SOCCSKSARGEN, BARMM, Davao Occidental, and Palawan.

The ITCZ will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Visayas and the rest of Mindanao.
“Dahil sa ITCZ asahan natin ang mataas na tsansa ng pag-ulan ngayong araw dito sa southern at western portions ng Mindanao pati na rin dito sa bahagi ng Palawan. Sa Metro Manila at sa nalalabing bahagi ng ating bansa, makakaranas tayo ng maaliwalas na panahon sasamahan lamang yan ng mga isolated rainshowers o localized thunderstorms,” he added.
