MANILA, Philippines — Scattered and isolated rain showers and thunderstorms would be experienced in most parts of the archipelago due to the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ), an imaginary line where the air from the northern and southern hemisphere meets, the state weather bureau said on Thursday.

Despite the cloudy weather conditions, the country would remain storm-free for the next two days, weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
