Cloudy Skies With Isolated Rain Showers Across the Philippines
Cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are expected across several parts of the Philippines this Saturday, May 24. This weather pattern is mainly influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone and easterly winds, according to local weather experts.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, currently affects the Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan regions. It brings scattered rain showers and thunderstorms throughout the day, resulting in persistently cloudy conditions. Residents in these areas are advised to stay alert as moderate to heavy rains may lead to flash floods or landslides, especially in flood-prone and mountainous zones.
Impact of Easterlies on Luzon and Metro Manila
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are forecasted to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms. These conditions are attributed to prevailing easterly winds. Although rain in these regions is generally light, severe thunderstorms could still cause localized flash floods or landslides in vulnerable communities.
Preparedness and Safety Measures
Local authorities emphasize the importance of vigilance, especially in areas prone to flooding and landslides. Community leaders said, “Mag-ingat po tayo, lalo na sa mga mabababang lugar na madaling bahain.” Residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates and avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rainfall.
Weather Outlook and Recommendations
As the Intertropical Convergence Zone and easterlies continue to influence the weather, scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will remain common. It is recommended that the public prepare accordingly and stay informed through official channels. Reports indicate that these weather systems may persist, affecting daily activities and travel plans.
