The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and localized thunderstorms will bring cloudy skies and rains across the country on Monday, June 19, the state weather bureau said.
In its morning bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
These may trigger possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said Luzon is expected to experience generally fair weather conditions, although rain showers and thunderstorms may prevail from afternoon to evening.
“Ang ITCZ o ang pagsasalubong ng hangin mula sa magkaibang hemisphere ay inaasahan nating maaaring magdala ng mga pag-ulan partikular na sa may bahagi ng Mindanao,” he said.
“Mas malaki ang tiyansa ng thunderstorms sa hapon hanggang sa gabi sa Mindanao, habang sa Luzon at Visayas…halos walang masyadong kaulapan pero posibleng may mabuong thunderstorms sa hapon hanggang sa gabi,” he added.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said no low pressure is being monitored.
“Ibig sabihin, wala pa rin tayong bagyong inaasahan sa mga susunod na araw,” he said.
