“Kining ITCZ is panagtagpo ng hangin gikan sa northern and southern hemisphere, so usahay musaka o munaog kini. Karon is nakaapekto karon sa Mindanao, Visayas, and also diri sa bandang Palawan,” Eclarino explained.
He added that ITCZ had already brought impacts to the region, and is expected to prevail until tomorrow.
Eclarino added that Pagasa-Mactan has not issued any gale warnings with coastal conditions ranging from slight to moderate, and wind conditions are light to moderate.
Although there is no low pressure area (LPA) that is being monitored as of this time, Eclarino advised the public to stay alert during thunderstorms as it could also cause flash floods and risk to landslide areas.
The temperature until Thursday will range from 26 to 31 degrees celsius. /clorenciana
