ITCZ, easterlies to bring rain showers over parts of PH
Several areas in the country will continue to experience rain showers or thunderstorms due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and easterlies, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Servies Administration (PAGASA) said on Tuesday, July 4.
ITCZ is a convergence of winds from the northern and southern hemispheres where rain-bearing clouds form, whereas easterly winds are warm and humid air from the Pacific Ocean.
Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms may affect Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Samar, Southern Leyte, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Davao de Oro, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Occidental, and Davao Oriental.
PAGASA warned of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to, at times, heavy rains.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience warm weather due to partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with a chance of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms may cause landslides or flash floods, especially in vulnerable areas.
