Multiple areas across Mindanao will encounter overcast conditions along with precipitation due to the influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), as per PAGASA’s initial forecast released early Saturday morning.
The Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi regions can expect overcast conditions accompanied by intermittent precipitation and electrical storms as a result of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). These weather patterns may lead to sudden flooding or mudslides.
Partially cloudy to overcast conditions with scattered mild showers are anticipated in Batanes and Babuyan Islands because of the northeasterly breeze.
Partly cloudy to overcast conditions with scattered rain showers or thunderstorms are expected across Metro Manila and the remainder of the nation due to the influence of easterlies.
In the extreme northern part of Luzon, expect moderate to strong winds along with moderate to rough coastal waters. The remaining areas across the nation should anticipate light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions near the coasts.
The sunrise over Metro Manila will occur at 5:49 a.m. — VBL, GMA Integrated News
