Manila — The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is expected to bring cloudy conditions with scattered rains and thunderstorms across several regions of the Philippines on Sunday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
The weather system will primarily affect Visayas, Mindanao, the Bicol Region, Romblon, and Palawan, with rainfall ranging from moderate to occasionally heavy levels throughout the day.
Pagesa has warned residents and local government units in these areas to prepare for possible flash floods and landslides, which commonly occur during periods of intense precipitation. The agency recommends that communities implement necessary precautions, including monitoring of water levels and evacuation protocols where necessary.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and stay updated with official weather advisories as conditions develop. The ITCZ is a tropical weather feature that frequently impacts the Philippines during certain periods of the year, bringing substantial moisture and convective activity to the archipelago's central and southern regions.
