Rains prevail in Southern Luzon and Visayas

Rains are concentrated in Southern Luzon and Visayas todayas the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) remains dominant.
The ITCZ is an area where winds coming from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet; this interaction results in rains in the affected areas.
As this weather system prevails, cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms will be experienced in Metro Manila, Visayas, Ilocos Region, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Caraga, and the province of Aurora. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms will prevail in the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, in an interview with PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong, he mentioned that the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat will begin to affect and bring rains to the country again this weekend but no weather disturbance is likely to prevail.
