Cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms are expected in several parts of the country on Saturday, Oct. 5, due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and easterlies.
In its latest weather update, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the ITCZ will affect the Visayas and Mindanao.
Cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms are expected in the Bicol Region, Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Palawan due to the ITCZ.
The ITCZ will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, the Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies, according to PAGASA.
Flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms, or moderate to heavy rains at times, are possible in these areas, PAGASA warned.
