Students Advised to Bring Rain Gear Amid Rainfall Alerts
Students returning to school on Monday, June 16, are strongly advised to bring umbrellas and rain protection. Parts of the country will experience rain and thunderstorms, local sources said. This early warning aims to prepare students and commuters for the wet conditions expected throughout the day.
According to weather experts, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will continue to influence weather patterns, especially over Mindanao and Eastern Visayas. This weather system causes winds from both hemispheres to meet, producing rain clouds and scattered showers. Though rain is expected in these areas, specialists noted that the rainfall might gradually decrease in the following days.
Weather Systems Affecting the Philippines Today
Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience generally fair weather due to easterly winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. These warm winds typically bring mild and clear conditions. However, the southwest monsoon, locally called the habagat, is temporarily weakening, leading to mostly clear skies but with isolated thunderstorms still possible.
Sources also confirmed that no tropical cyclone formation or entry into the Philippine Area of Responsibility is expected in the near future. Despite the overall fair weather forecast, residents and travelers should stay alert. Localized thunderstorms may still bring rain during early morning, afternoon, and evening hours in various regions.
Preparedness Remains Key for Students and Commuters
Weather authorities emphasize the importance of preparedness, especially for students heading back to school. Carrying rain gear will help minimize disruptions caused by sudden showers. Commuters are also encouraged to plan ahead and stay updated on weather developments throughout the day.
