MANILA – Three weather systems—the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), northeasterly wind flow, and easterlies—will bring rain to different parts of the Philippines, according to PAGASA on Saturday (05 Apr 2025).
The ITCZ is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Davao Region, Soccsksargen, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. Moderate to heavy rains in these areas may cause flash floods or landslides.
Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains due to the northeasterly wind flow, while the rest of the country will experience similar skies and isolated rain showers from the easterlies.
Moderate to strong winds and rough seas are forecast over extreme Northern Luzon, while light to moderate winds and seas are expected elsewhere.
Despite the rains, PAGASA also warned of extreme heat, with Dagupan City reaching a dangerous 46°C heat index, Virac in Catanduanes at 44°C, and Echague, Isabela at 42°C.
