MANILA – The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) will bring continued rainfall across most areas of the Philippines on Thursday (11 July 2024), according to the state weather bureau.
Regions such as Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Soccsksargen, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, and Davao Occidental can expect scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has warned that moderate to heavy rains in these areas may lead to flash floods or landslides.
Additionally, the ITCZ will cause isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the Bicol Region, as well as the rest of Mimaropa, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will also experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized weather disturbances. PAGASA cautions that severe thunderstorms could result in flash floods or landslides.
The entire archipelago will continue to experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
Forecaster Aldczar Aurelio stated that no low-pressure area is expected to develop or enter the country until Friday. However, scattered rain showers will persist over the western section of the country due to the ITCZ.
