Rainy conditions expected in Davao with intermittent showers predicted
Weather Warning for Davao and Southern Mindanao: April 24, 2025
Brace yourself, sunshine lovers of Davao and Southern Mindanao, as clouds and rain are set to dominate the skies due to the notorious Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
The Heavens Aim to Drench:The rain gods are particularly fond of these regions, with cloudy skies, scattered showers, and the occasional thunderstorm brewing courtesy of the ITCZ. Stick close to your umbrellas, as Davao Occidental, Zamboanga Peninsula, Soccsksargen, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi should be prepared for an entire day soaked to the core.
For Those in the Know, Ready Your Seatbelts:This rough weather might just be the beginning. Be on guard for floods and landslides, as moderate to heavy rainfalls could sweep through the area, thanks to the ITCZ. Stay alert, friends!
Meanwhile, the rest of Mindanao—including other parts of the Davao Region—isn't off the hook. Get ready for partly cloudy to cloudy skies alongside iso-rain showers or thunderstorms, potential triggers for regional flooding and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.
Northern Philippines, We Haven’t Forgotten About You:Metro Manila and other regions across the country will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with occasional rain showers and thunderstorms, brought by the easterlies. Be aware of flood and landslide risks during powerful thunderstorms.
Beware the Searing Heat:The increased cloud cover and rainfall may cool things down, but don't be fooled. The ITCZ also brings some scorching heat to the party, with temperatures rising to a discomforting 34°C to 42°C across the nation. Exercise caution, especially in the Davao Region where temperatures have been sizzling hot in recent weeks.
Stay safe, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on those weather updates. Don't forget to pack raincoats and emergency plans, and if you feel the stifling heat lingering too long, find some shade!
