PAGASA Says ITCZ and Easterlies to Affect PH Weather Condition
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that the easterlies and ITCZ will bring cloudy to rainy condition over some parts of the country.
On Wednesday (April 27, 2022), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The Intertropical Convergence Zone and easterlies will affect the country’s weather condition.
PAGASA reported that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will be affecting Mindanao and Palawan while the Easterlies will be affecting the rest of the country.
Cloudy weather condition with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms are expected over Sorsogon, Masbate, Romblon, Northern Samar as well as Visayas and Palawan including Kalayaan Islands.
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms are expected over the rest of Bicol Region, Oriental Mindoro and Marinduque.
The Easterlies/Localized thunderstorms will bring similar weather condition over the provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Abra, Apayao, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Ifugao, Benguet and Aurora.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are expected to experience the same weather condition.
The weather agency has also warned the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains and during severe thunderstorms.
“Pinapaalalahanan po natin ang ating mga kababayan diyan na mag-ingat at maging alerto sa mga posibleng pagbaha at pagguho ng lupa,” Pagasa weather specialist Grace Castañeda said.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over Northern Luzon and the rest of the archipelago will be slight to moderate, according to the weather bureau.
No weather disturbances have been spotted inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility except for a low-pressure area.
“Wala po tayong minomonitor na sama ng panahon na nakakaapekto sa ating bansa, ngunit active po ang ITCZ natin or yung Intertropical Convergence Zone, ay hindi po natin inaalis ang posibilidad na mayroong mabuo na sama ng panahon o low pressure area sa loob ng ating area of responsibility, na maaaring magdulot ng pag-ulan sa bahagi ng Visayas at Mindanao maging sa area ng Palawan sa mga susunod na araw,” Castañeda added.
