Weather Today – September 16, 2017 | Rainy Day for Mindanao

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Samuel Duran, no weather disturbance is being monitored within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). However, Duran noted that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is active and may still generate possible Low Pressure Areas (LPAs).

ITCZ is a weather system where two different winds meet, forming convective clouds that bring rains and thunderstorms. Residents of SOCCSKSARGEN, the Davao Region, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi should prepare for cloudy skies with scattered rain showers or thunderstorms. Thunderstorms may bring occasional heavy rains, strong winds and lightning. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers brought by localized thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds will prevail in Northern Luzon, where coastal waters will be moderate to rough. A slight to moderate sea condition is expected in the rest of the archipelago.

Apart from the ITCZ, LPAs, Tropical Cyclones and Southwest Monsoon are also among the dominant weather systems during the month of September. These will bring rainy weather in affected areas.
