Shear line, ITCZ to bring rains across PH

Four distinct weather systems are bringing rains across the Philippines, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In its 4 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA reported that a shear line is causing cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over Apayao, Kalinga, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya.

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is also expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms to the Caraga region, Northern Mindanao, the Davao region and Palawan, while the rest of Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

The northeast monsoon is affecting Batanes and the rest of the Cordillera region, which will experience cloudy skies with rains. The Ilocos region will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the same weather system.

The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by easterlies.

PAGASA said moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough seas will prevail over northern Luzon. Moderate winds with moderate seas are expected over the Visayas and the rest of Luzon, while Mindanao will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
