MANILA, Philippines — Overcast skies and rain showers are expected in parts of Luzon on Monday due to the intertropical convergence zone, or ITCZ, and a low-pressure area (LPA) in the West Philippine Sea.
Aldczar Aurelio, the weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), said Mimaropa, Quezon, Rizal, Laguna, and Batangas have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the two weather conditions.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country are seeing partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
The LPA was last spotted 165 kilometers west-northwest of Coron, Palawan.
“This LPA has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone,” Aurelio said in Filipino. “It is also embedded inside the intertropical convergence zone.”
