MANILA – Rain showers are expected across almost all areas of the Philippines on Wednesday (10 July 2024) due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the easterlies, according to the weather bureau.
The ITCZ will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, the Bicol Region, and Western Visayas.
Central Luzon will experience similar weather conditions due to the influence of the easterlies.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has warned that moderate to heavy rains in these areas could lead to flash floods or landslides.
The rest of the country can expect isolated rain showers caused by the ITCZ and localized thunderstorms, with the possibility of severe thunderstorms that could also result in flash floods or landslides.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the archipelago.
PAGASA reported that no tropical cyclone is currently being monitored inside or outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
