On Sunday, the tropical depression will move north-northwest and is expected to enter Guam from Sunday to Wednesday.Pagasa said that the isolated rain showers and localized thunderstorms experienced across the country is due to the ITCZ and not because of the tropical depression.Pagasa said the rainy season will likely occur by the end of May.
