Rains are expected throughout the MIMAROPA region today due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ).
Aldczar Aurelio, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the ITCZ is affecting a large part of the country.
“Sa kasalukuyan, ang malaking bahagi ng ating bansa ay nakararanas ng pag-ulan dahil sa epekto ng ITCZ o intertropical convergence zone. Itong ITCZ ay kasalukuyan nakakaapekto sa southern Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao,” he said in a forecast on Friday.
The ITCZ is the convergence of the wind from the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere which brings weather disturbances such as LPA and storm, PAGASA explained.
“Samantala sa nalalabing bahagi gn Luzon ay magiging maganda ang panahon dahil sa inaasahan ang bahagyang maulap hanggang sa maulap ang papawirin pero may mga tiyansa ng mga biglaang buhos ng ulan dahil sa thunderstorm,” he added.
